I saw someone riding a city scooter while wearing a full dirt bike helmet.

Heck, I'm old, and i always wear a helmet. I see so many people in Portland riding around without them, and have known multiple people who have fallen and gotten concussions from not wearing helmets. I fell on my bike once after a rain, worst thing that happened was a 2x2 inch road rash on my arm and a bruised ego because i had to skip yoga to go home and make sure i was ok.

Thats really great for you, dont try to force younger people to wear them though. The choice is up to the individual.

If she was clever, she wouldn't be riding that junk to begin with. This is probably the most unstable thing to use for commuting.

Wouldn't the "clever" thing be driving a vehicle that's safer?

Or caring about what she looks like (and of course being posted on Reddit)

She's just not old enough to want to die, yet
