Our daughter, almost 15 years, says about wearing helmets: "If you
think your hair style is more important than your brain, it probably
is."
Back when I was a 4H Leader I was asked a lot of questions about
helmets by parents & kids too. Mostly it was which one should I
buy? How much do I need to spend on one? I always gave them the
same line the guy at the snowmobile shop gave me when I was buying a
helmet back in the 70's. I had asked him which helmet I should buy
from a whole rack full of them. His reply was a classic I have never
forgotten.
He said "Well if you have a $10 head then buy the $10 helmet, if you
have a $100 head then buy the $100 helmet".
Of course those were the 1970's prices when a $100 actually bought a
pretty nice helmet. I always told the 4h kids and the parents the
same thing. You usually do get what you pay for in this case. Of
course style & looks have some to do with riding helmets too. Best
advise now days is to make sure it is ASTM certified.
