Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

The races n.w does on tuesdays state that all children taking part must wear a helmet, fair enough. The amount of children whose helmets are fitted incorrectly or whose helmets don't fit is astonishing.
Mention it to the parents and all hell breaks loose.

I got bollocked for removing a helmet from my 2yo. He has a well fitting one, but we'd left it at the in-laws summer house. He was in the trailer, and he had on my 5yo's. It was obviously more dangerous then protective. But people just want the comforting sight of a helmet, and dont think too much about ahat they are trying to achieve by putting it on.
