It's all about risk assessment. If we didn't do risk assessment in everyday life, then by your reasoning, we should make our kids wear helmets all the time, even when they're out walking.

Never a truer word - tese are all quotes justifying a proprietary children's helmet:

"Over 318,575 baby & toddler head injuries are recorded each year!"(Department of Trade & Industry)

... should make a valuable contribution to risk reduction in a similar way to cycle helmets...

It is a pleasure to support the 'Thudguard' in my capacity as President of the British Association for Accident and Emergency Medicine. Any device which helps to reduce the number of head injuries sustained by young children each year is most welcome

Throughout more than 20 years as an emergency paramedic, I have encountered numerous worried parents who have called an ambulance because their young toddler took a fall and suffered a head injury. While most are minor, some have resulted in serious and debilitating injuries

It is about time that someone has addressed the diffuse head injuries that are so invisible but on the rise for toddlers learning to walk. Thudguard is a one of a kind invention. As a practicing neurophysiologist, I highly endorse this incredible product.

I want to lend full support to this effort to prevent and mitigate head injury in babies and small children. The consequences of head injury may be suffered during the entire life of the young victim. The emotional and financial burden can be enormous.

In the face of all this evidence from experts how can any responsible person allow their child out without a helmet?

That's quite frightening. It appears that in the near future we will not be allowed to set foot outside our own homes unless wearing a miracle FudGuard and a foam suit

Where can I buy a bubble wrap suit?





In all seriousness, I wear my helmet when I am cycling as I would rather do it just in case... and much like the OP my family tend to think I am going to kill myself cycling on the roads (despite passing maybe 1 car every hour where I live in rural Norfolk!) and they think wearing a helmet is essential to keeping me alive.

these brownie points have now used to purchase some nice new ortlieb panniers.

Well I suppose on the plus side it is somewhere to keep the polystyrene dome when out riding

however, i now use a helmet for one reason only. the fact that a judge reduced one poor buggers payout. i have even re-installed pedal reflectors so they have no excuse. if i get knocked off....I WANT FULL MONEY!!!!

That's the exact same reason I wear one too.

I've noticed I feel safer when wearing one on the road. This is a bad thing!
