Loads of primary kids are cycling to school – great to see! But why are so many hitting the pavements without helmets, even when their parents are tagging along?
Kids Risk Serious Injury Without Helmets
Riding on the pavement might seem safe, but a simple slip can cause a nasty fall. Clip a wheel the wrong way, and a tumble onto concrete could lead to skull fractures or even brain damage. It’s not worth the risk, even at slow speeds.
Parents, Don’t Let Safety Slip
The same danger applies to scooters. It takes hardly any effort to pop a helmet on your child. So come on, parents – protect your kids and prevent potential tragedies before they happen!
