Like I said opinions are like arseholes everyone has one... No DOM tube can come in contact with my children's heads so I am comfortable with going out without a helmet. All the helmets I have looked at have been heavy. As to helmets in general well I played foosball for 12 years and every year I played my neck was a bit swore after the first few practices from the added weight of my helmet. Again do what you feel is safe for YOUR children. I'll worry about mine. If helmets don't create issues why do so many sand rail guys swear they do? Does it have anything to do with your body being immobilized by the 4/5pt and your head moving like a bobble head? I have considered using a helmet and a neck roll/brace on my 2yr old but she does not like even wearing goggles so I don't think she will go for it.
