Fredtyg,
I know it’s already law for kids but my point was I have never responded for a child who fell that was wearing helmet with a serious head injury. I have responded multiple times for children who fell with serious head injuries who were not wearing helmets. So yes, the law works. When I see a kid not wearing a helmet I look no further than the parents! In fact, the parents should be looked at for child endangerment…

“If this law saves one kids life then it’s worth it!!“.

I’m not sure I’ve seen very many kids wearing helmets and it’s already been law for how many years? Really works, huh?

” I have seen kids die or be seriously injured from bike falls, scooter falls,skateboard falls, etc”.

What are you, EMS? (If so, you have an unfair advantage. Hosing people off sidewalks is in your job description. For us civilians, it’s a rarity.

People are not adverse as you think to using safety equipment. (See my comment above.)

Now…when should we set up that appointment for you to audit my fridge?

My comments go for all ages from training wheel age to adults!!!!!!!!

“I would not be surprised if a helmet manufacturer is pushing this new nanny-crapola, just slightly behind the scenes.”

Very likely. I’ve heard that happens all the time.

I USUALLY wear a helmet, of my own volition, and especially so if I intend to ride on busy roads.

But if just tooling along on a casual spin along the bike paths of my residential Orange County neighborhood – not so much.

Won’t be long before Liu invites herself in and does an inventory of my refrigerator. And wags her finger at me while doing so.
