Wrap him in bubble wrap too while you are at it. I remember the days of scabs, goose eggs and bending your handle bars back to a semblance of straight. Today’s kids, who knows what memories they will build.
Helmets are needed if your on a high speed racer or competing in mountain bike racing. To slap a helmet on small children who are riding around the neighborhood is a joke perpetuated by the insurance and manufacturing industries.
I’ve laid both pedal and motor bikes down in gravel a time or two, fewer chunks torn out of the epidermis with the pedal. But I ALWAY rode my enduro with a helmet. Lots of BIG rocks and trees that would jump out and whack you while you a dirtbike crosscountry.

Has a study ever been done on pre helmet versus post helmet injuries? How did we ever survive without a helmet?
