Probably depends on the area of town, too. Not saying anything about where you live, but helmets aren't free and I imagine in lower-income areas there will be fewer kids owning helmets versus areas with more wealth. We toboggan in Maple Ridge and there are kids from Bonavista, Willow Park, etc. The non-helmet wearers are definitely the exception there.
