I'll buy you the hamburger bell if you guys get a pair of helmets. Deal?
Hate to be dudley do right, but i've seen first hand the life long damage a low speed head injury (even while wearing a helmet) can cause. My mother-in-law went down with a helmet doing less than 10mph. She's got a permeant nerve damage causing limited use of her right leg and permanent sight problems as he eyes can't track together or focus quickly. No more driving, no more biking, no more running. If she weren't wearing the helmet she would be much worse off.
I grew up skate boarding, biking, all without a helmet. But that was then. I'm always wearing a helmet now, even if i'm just riding along side the wife as she goes on long runs.
