I wonder how many parents realize that ANSI and Snell approval of bike 
helmets don't actually require a helmet to afford protection in a crash.  
Sure, having a weak helmet is probably better than none at all, but 
remember: if your child does much more than simply fall from his/her bike 
while standing still, you've taken the helmet beyond what it's required 
to stand up to.  (Why do you think we're able to buy such amazingly 
lightweight and well-ventilated helmets?!)  EDUCATE cyclists and 
motorists; don't just force cyclists to wrap their heads in some 
SYROFOAM.
