My son is 6, so it's still my decision to make for him. Mustang's is a college student, so in that case I think it's the kid's decision to make.
I never wore a helmet when I was a kid and for all I remember they may not have even existed then, but I also trust my son less in our suburban area than the rural area I grew up in and trust distracted drivers less than what I grew up with.
I also remember jarts. They were awesome. I remember playing horseshoes as well, particularly the time my 9 year old brother threw one straight above his head...only to have it come down straight on top of his head, blood covering him like a helmet. It was awesome.

How old is your son?
I understand your feelings to some point but at this point in his life, it's his decision and if it were me I'd respect it.
My grand kids don't always wear a helmet <spelling?> and I don't worry about it. But then, when I was a kid, none of us did. I got to play with jarts too. :)
Horseshoes, yeah, they are great fun, we still them at family reunions.
I thought I was responding to the OP, my bad. Yes, absolutely at 6, your call.
I feel bad for kids growing up in large metro areas vs the small rural towns.
