[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1766337, member: 19817"] I have a family friend who lost their 11 year old child to a traumatic brain injury sustained from flopping an ATV over while moving some cows. He had been riding a fullsize ATV since around 6 so he wasn't un-familiar. A child doesn't have the strength to hold the bars back if one tire hits something (heck as a 225lb adult male I sometimes get the bars jerked from my hands). To this day the father hasn't forgiven himself for not making the kid wear a helmet. He ended up selling his farm because he just didn't want to see the spot his son died daily. No parents wants to lift an ATV off their deceased child. So while it may not be "manly" or "tough" to wear helmets myself and my 2 boys always wear them. [/QUOTE]
