Gee whiz, I guess the jury has spoken eh? Maniac you have been judged by your "peers" to be athoughtless uncaring unloving parent. You should be ashamed of yourself. But give your daughter a "hi five" for me will ya? Don't think you have to worry about her becoming a lemming.
PS... you better not confess that you have a beer and ride afterwards either Paul... they'll be stringing you up for sure!

You can just take your BS meters off of peg. I know this girl and her family, I have ridden with them, and they have been guests at my house. It would not surprise me one bit that she made such a comment, or something very close to it.
As far as any of you that think that Paul would be an irresponsible parentjust don't have a clue.

eeeyah. seems a little existentially aware for a nine year old. my bs meter is twitching because it doesnt sound like something a kid would say.
however, it does sound like something an adult would attribute to a child in an effort to present a supposedly unbiased opinion. while cute, i dont take too many safety tips from children.
dont mean to be a grump on this, im just sayin.

As far as responsibility goes, I probably would have her wear the helmet even if it weren’t a law, simply because of the fact that kids are easily distracted and like to fool around and may not have the presence of mind to react appropriately in a given situation.
I just thought what she said was funny as hell.

I know that there are poeple that firmly believe that it won't happen to them, or that helmets do no good.
My 10 yr old daughter races Bicycle motocross, and is currently in the Top Five in the Nation, in her age group. She also races mountain bikes, so needless to say, she is (for her age) fast, and for the most part fearless.
Two years ago, while practicing a series of jumps, she came down just a bit short, and clipped her back tire off of the lip of the jump. This had the result of pitching her face first into the face of the next jump. Even with a motocross style chest protector on, she ended up with bruised ribs. Even with a DOT approved motorcycle (yes, a MOTORCYCLE helmet on a bicycle), she ended up with a concussion.
We all can admit that pavement is harder than dirt, and we all can agree that the speeds you travel on your motorcycle is significantly higher than what a kid can ride on a bicycle. So, if a kid can end up with injuries from a bicycle crash, what do you suppose can happen in a motorcycle wreck?
