Really interesting point about helmets. Reminds me of the “take shorter showers” and “carpool” campaigns that serve to throw responsibility onto individuals for issues that are then ignored at the community governance level.
According to this study, in some cases (for grownups in certain places) helmets may make people a little less safe: https://helmets.org/walkerstudy.htm
Postscript 2016 about people taking more risk when they are more covered (cap, helmet) is so interesting & I wonder how it influences law enforcement wearing riot gear with protesters, for example. But I digress! 😆
