Lol…there were generations who grew up without bicycle helmets. I don’t know of any kid or any story of a kid or even on the news of a kid who got their head hurt/brain injury riding a bicycle.
Right? Occasionally getting hurt was a right of passage. Most times we tried to patch ourselves up and hide it from mom. If you had a cast, you were royalty for a time..lol.
These later generations have no idea what it was like to be free as children. No computers, no phones, just gone all day as long as you were home at dusk.
I have many happy memories of dirt clod fights with the neighbors and bb gun wars. Both hurt when you get hit…but so much fun.
Yah, we were allowed to drive boats, cars, motor cycles, sandrails, etc., at about 10 (sans parents). As long as we showed capability and respect for safety.
Lolol…many a near death experience that the folks never knew about. And no helmets. Made us brave and self sufficient.
Prudent? Maybe we should wrap you in a bubble.

Broken bones…now thats a different story.
For the hundred and first time. Just yesterday
If I wasn’t wearing my bike helmet
I’d be still knocked out on the ground
Helmets ⛑ are absolutely a necessary part of CRAZY BIKING
