It's not just a child's helmet, but
ALL helmets.
Child's helmets are bad enough, but they're all the same. Same straps, same clips, same design.
You helmet wearers out there in "Cycling World" ................. get hold of your helmet, connect the strap and try to pull it apart.
I'll guarantee it won't release. The harder you pull, the more difficult it is to unclip.
We could all be hanged by our helmets. Good job I don't wear one any more.
