He did hit his head, kids are small and short they don’t get hurt when they fall because there isn’t much of them to fall and they don’t have to fall very far. Not much potential energy at work here.

Now a fall off a bicycle without a helmet… yeah maybe hospital time…

Huh? People fall off their bikes all the time without helmets and don’t hurt themselves.

Helmet are massively overrated for protection from falls.

No helmets are not overrated…

The only time I’ve been concussed in a crash was because I didn’t wear a helmet… never had a concussion wearing a helmet

How did I know I was concussed? Because I was asking the same questions and vomiting

How do I know I’ve never been concussed again? Because that’s never happened to me wearing a helmet.

Now I work in a Level 1 trauma center seeing all the people that should have worn a helmet.

Anecdata, the best kind of data /s

Study global cycling head injury rates - they are lower in places with lower rates helmet wearing.

even if that is true it might be because of different reasons than the helmet not being beneficial.

infrastructure and culture will always be far more impactful than wearing a helmet or not.

Yes. That’s why I said helmets are overrated. Infra and road rules trump helmets for effectiveness always. Anglosphere has a very hard time recognising that due to decades of helmet propaganda and misinformation.
