Nobody wants their kids to die, duh, but we don't want them to be regarded as geeks, either.I guess the trick is to convince kids that the helmet is a fashion item, which it is- have you see the options these days?! Then parents will have further cause to complain as youngsters clamor for the latest $75 helmet with $105 matching sneakers rather than the $10 model at Walmart. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
