[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1079509, member: 6354"] Whiplash (any neck issue reuslting from excessive head motion) is such a low consideration in motorcycle incidents that thinking about it is a waste of energy (IMHO). A helmet will look clunkier on a kid for a couple of reason. First, a child's head is larger with respect to their body than an adult's, anything on their head already looks too big. Secondly, even though the helmet is a smaller size for the smaller head, its protective elements are probably not any thinner than a full-size adult's helmet. This just makes an already disproportionate-looking piece of headgear even more disproportionate. If the child can't lift themselves from the seat by standing on the pegs, then they don't belong on the bike. Size of headgear is irrelevant. Size of child is what matters. [/QUOTE]
