Helmets for tots
Whats the consensus on helmets for tiny tots. From what I understand, pro
is prevention of head injury, con is danger of spinal injury due to mass and/or preasure from the shell on spine. At what age does the pro outweigh the con especially since at very young ages they are probably not skiing at speed on their own. Opinions and links appreciated. F.Plant |

If your kids are like the ones that I've seen, they love to go into trees. Helmet can save them, and the adults who follow them closely, from being whacked in the head by branches and the like. As far as the mass/weight goes, these helmets weigh hardly anything. I have yet heard a complaint from a kid. -------------------------------------------- W R Chan from Upstate NY (to respond, remove ### from email address) * I have no stinking sig * |
