I was on the underground yesterday and there was a group of kids, with parents or carers. They were all wearing cycle helmets and carrying little scooters. What hope is there? I wouldn't be at all surprised if soon they have to wear them just when they are playing outside.

Lost it, got it again.
What's the max speed you can get on a kids scooter? Judging by my son, somewhere between 5 and 8 mph. When is a helmet most "effective"? Around about 6 mph IIRC. So, not so silly after all. Better than forcing them to wear them on bikes.

Last year I took my kid to the park. There is a path that runs alongside the river. Between the path and the river is about 6 feet of grass. I saw a woman walking along with her kids on scooters wearing helmets AND lifejackets (seriously!!). The park has a fence around it and is set well back from the river. One of her kids asked if he could take his lifejacket off to play n the park and was told no, what if he forgot to put it back on and fell off his scooter into the river?!?! 
Wouldn't surprise me if they were next either.

Natural Selection would take over?
If not duffers won't drown?
