Also, car seats in the 70s:
My boomer bitch ass parents used to complain about us needing a few minutes to strap a car seat into a car in the 2010's.
"We didn't need car seats when we were babies and we survived."
They were fucking obnoxious.
What a dumb thing to say honestly. My sisters boyfriend bought a old stupid pickup truck that doesn't have seatbelts. He's so proud of the fact that he doesn't need seatbelts. I think it's the main reason that he wanted that car. He drives around his children in it, and the previous owner had it all prepared that you could put in seatbelts, but he would rather die than use seatbelts. Same with helmets. They bought ebikes to go on rides, and everyone wears a helmet except for him. Hy sister tells him all the time to wear one. She has him as far now that he takes a helmet with him, but he's not wearing it. A almost 50 year old man doesn't want to look uncool on his bike.
Have you noted to him how fucking uncool it is for a grown man to think safety (especially of children) is uncool?
Takes just one slipup of someone, not even them, but just someone in traffic, and he will never forgive himself his shitty attitude.
It's weird. I mountainbike my whole life, i feel super weird not wearing a helmet. I wear a full face helmet on every trail. I ride sometimes on a lift where one of the best riders in europe practices. He wears a helmet from the car to the lift. But somehow he thinks he's too good to wear a helmet. I often see people with child seat on their bicycles and the children wear helmets and the parents don't. Where the hell is the logic there. If you ever drop on your head, your child sits in a puddle of your blood and waits until someone finds them?
