Independent mobility

The Statue of Liberty is welcoming all cosmopolitans. In the background, the Berlin TV Tower (Fernsehturm/ Alex Tower). Viewed from the mobility hub of the Berlin main station (Hauptbahnhof).

Kids in the 60s peeping over the Berlin Wall (Berliner Mauer) using the kick scooter (tretroller) for children’s independent mobility.

Pedestrian helmets should be compulsory

If bicycle helmets are compulsory because of the head injuries that cars can cause to cyclists, and not because bikes are themselves dangerous, why are they not compulsory for pedestrians?

Especially child pedestrians are in danger of head injuries from the roo-bars, or bull-bars which are placed on the front of "family cars" at head height for kids. "Head injury is the most common injury type in child pedestrian accidents ".

Let's be consistent. Compulsory helmets for all, always. Why discriminate?
