When I was growing up, no one wore bike helmets. It was a tough sell to get my kids to wear them too as they got older.
Now we all wear them and ski helmets too.
The first time you bang your head it's a wake up call. It's the same with seat belts, safety glasses, face masks, gloves and construction helmets..
How foolish was I not to wear protective gear or force my kids to for social reasons.
