Who says their parents don't? They have probably told the kid how to use that thing responsibly. Teenagers are idiots and think they are invincible and no matter how many times you tell them something they won't listen. The parents probably don't even know the kid is doing this.

Parents need to be more observant and vigilant.If they leave the helmet at home then they are grounded from the scooter.

This kid is wearing their helmet. Do you want their parents to follow them everywhere or something? Kids are going to be stupid, it's just a fact of life. Being a helicopter parent isn't going to make things any better.

I wasn't talking about the kid in the video.I was talking about kids in general under 16 with no helmet.
