How do I get my daughter to wear a helmet?
My daughter is 15 and refuses to wear a helmet. I always have required her to wear a helmet and she always has until age 12. At age 12 she stopped wearing her helmet which I only found out when I busted her riding her bike without it. I try grounding her and taking her phone away and all those things, but she still won't wear a helmet. Well one summer day when she was 14, she got on her bike to go to a friends house. At that point I had given up and let her go without it since she hadn't fallen off her bike since age 7 and never hit her head before. Well she ended up falling off her bike and hitting her head on the way there. She was taken to the er and had a concussion. It really scared her, so she started wearing a helmet again even without me asking. Well sure enough she stopped wearing it. She says they are uncool, mess up her hair, she knows how to put her hands out, it was a freak accident last time she fell, and it that it was only a concussion and I'm overreacting. I'm concerned if she falls again she will have more severe head trauma. How do I get her to wear a helmet?

Wear a helmet. Whatever the inconvenience protect yourself your head is worth it, don't you think? Look at it this way its the people and things around you that you have to protect yourself against.

Haven't skied in 15 years. Do most adults or kids wear helmets or not?
90% of adults do and some resorts its mandatory for kids. So yes you should all get helmets. If you are not listening to music you can hear everything around you. I have been a skier for 37 years and only started wearing a Ski Helmet over the last 2 seasons. I did because I feel in 2 feet of powder and my head bounced off what was under the powder, ICE. Ski resorts add water to the snow making in the fall to make a base for the season. Skiers and snowboarders fall that's just a fact. So what you should be thinking of is what ski helmet is best for each person, Every helmet should fit properly meaning measure each persons head and ask whomever you buy from to reference the box for measurements. The helmet should not move back and forth and side to side. Most 2008 Ski Helmets have adjustments to tighten the helmet. Do some testing at a ski shop then buy them online to save money. Things to look for. 1-Fit 2-Venting. You want to be able to open and close the vents 3-linings. Buy Ski Helmets with removable a lining and ear flaps. 4-Chin strap. Make sure the strap has padding and is adjustable 5-Never buy a used Ski, Snowboard Helmet. Once a helmet hits the ground and the inner padding gets compressed it's useless. 6-Goggle holder on the back is a must Most new Audio Ski Helmets are designed to let ambient noise in, so you can hear skiers behind you I hope this helps and please be safe a teach you family to wear helmets during any activity not just skiing. Every ski season people get bad head injuries that end Ski Vacations. A Ski Helmet is worth every penny
My penis doesn't have a helmet, like you normally see, what's wrong with it?
Probably just that it's covered by your foreskin. if you can't pull your foreskin back easily then just keep trying to work it back a little bit more day by day after a while it will retract and you will see your "helmet". Almost all adults can retract the foreskin because that's the way it works, but in children it's attached to the glans and you probably just haven't pulled yours back yet.

Why do so many parents fail to wear bicycle helmets when riding with their children, yet make sure the kids wear them?
I wonder if part of this is due to a generational thing?When I was a child, for example, we rarely wore seat-belts in the car and on many occasions, my brother and I would travel in the open section of the back of a truck, I would be horrified now as awareness of risk has changed.Simply put, most adults were raised in an era when cycle helmet use was rare and perhaps see little benefit, the 'it won't happen to me' school of thought.Since taking up cycling seriously a couple of years ago, I have personally worn a helmet but remained ambivalent about the benefits.In March this year, I crashed the mountain bike I was riding whilst cycling downhill (off road) and smashed my helmet in two. When the air ambulance picked me up, I was unconscious. I wonder if I would be functioning in a normal way if I hadn't been wearing a helmet.The following is taken from http://www.whycycle.co.uk/Wearing a helmet could save your life. Fact or Fiction?The truth is that there is no simple answer. Certainly, in some accidents a helmet can reduce the risk of severe head injury but every accident is different; the outcome can never be judged before the incident. Indeed the majority of head injuries which result in death are caused by collision with other vehicles, traveling at comparative high speed, something which a bicycle helmet is not designed to cope with (see "What can a helmet do?" below). In reality, the numbers of these serious head injuries is extremely low and it is felt that the overall health benefits offered by regular cycling far far outweigh the small amount of risk involved.What can a helmet do?As with most safety orientated products, bicycle helmets have to pass certain standards prior to being allowed to be sold. What may be surprising is the exact nature of those standards.Cycle helmets are only designed and tested to withstand an impact equivalent to an average weight rider travelling at a speed of 12 mph falling onto a stationary kerb shaped object from a height of 1 metre.This is the equivalent of falling from your bike onto the road or the kerb edge. Helmets are not tested nor expected to be able to offer full protection if you come into contact with a vehicle which is moving.
