When I took the time to look up "Dangers of not wearing a helmet", the photos that came up were gut wrenching; Children in hospital beds with more than just scrapes and bruises on their faces; bandages, wires, cuts, and more. Go ahead google it, you'll get the picture, ones that I just couldn't stomach to share. What happens with the slightest fall when our children have a "little accident" while riding their bike in the driveway, just heading across the street or around the corner to the park? What happens when you hop on that ATV while camping for a quick ride with a passenger wrapping his or her arms around you so tight from behind & then falls backwards onto the concrete? Accidents happen and they can be deadly. The sun is out and the summer weather keeps peaking in. Our kids are more than anxious to hop on those bikes and get moving.

Julianne (Bedore) Mallonee, Mom to Haley(13) & Ethan(11), & wife to Adam (very lucky man of course😊!) shares her knowledge and experience of what she has seen first hand when it comes to neglecting the easiest way to keep our kids safe...WEARING Helmets! She has shared this presentation below with many others and I wanted her to share it with all of us! To keep it simple from what I've learned thru this presentation is the slightest crack or bruise to a skull can lead to major bleeding on the brain causing tremendous damage especially if not caught in time. Skull Fractures may have similar symptoms to a concussion and the dangers increase with time, if not instantly. Wearing helmets is a simple way to avoid a very scary and possibly a very tragic danger to our kids.
