I was lucky when I was 8 too. I was riding my bike with my brother and we went down this massive hill. Thought it was great fun so did it again and hit a small rock which sent me flying head over handlebars in to the ride and I skidded for a few metres. Lost all skin on one side of me, shattered my arm, stitches on my face and was very lucky my head was ok due to wearing a helmet. Always tell my kids this story.

While it seems like a great idea, in this day and age I’m worried about that being too much private information that could lead to identity theft and other things if it got in to the wrong hands. I personally wouldn’t do it. Maybe just allergies if my child had an anaphylaxis reaction to something.

This could easily happen to a child skating around the backyard, also on a scooter, tricycle or bicycle

Such a close call, how frightening !

I am so glad he will be ok. Wearing a helmet is so important!

Oh my gosh. Glad he’ll be ok
Show this to your children !!

We’ve seen serious injuries in our school community from a helmet-less bike accident. Really woke a few kids up…

most parents do make kids wear helmets but as soon as they are out of sight the kids takethem off. I see it every day on the school run

Wow, that’s scary!!

I used to go horseriding all the time as a kid without a helmet. I got a pretty bad concussion once. I think I was very very lucky nothing more serious happened.

That’s such a huge scar. I’m glad he survived. Helmets are so important!!
