Praise should go to Hassan Khan, father of Numaan Khan, as well for sending a warning to all parents and children about the need to wear a cycle helmet.
Of course there are those who say it is not cool to wear a helmet but the stats speak for themselves.
Numaan was lucky, very lucky, that he has hopefully got away with not wearing one without long-lasting serious injury.
If you come off your bike your head is likely to hit something quite hard - be it the road or another vehicle - and that is likely to hurt.
A big hole in your head. Now that is not cool.
