do you think the kids are less safe because they feel emboldened by their helmet use?
There is evidence that kids exhibit risk compensation behaviour like everyone else. Give them swimming aids and watch what they do.
Kids like wearing funny hats and may not be aware of alleged safety benefit of helmets. The high risk comes from stupid parents who insist on kids wearing helmets and do nothing else to help them learn about bike riding.
