When I was a kid back in the 60s my parents got me mini bike. For a long time they refused to get me a helmet. They thought it would create a false confidence that would make me careless. 
ut: I made sure my kids had appropriate gear from the get-go. The youngest one is now a safety instructor, teaching people to ride street bikes.
