Note that in the USA, it's possible to see children in a playground wearing helmets.

That's something nobody should ever do, because the danger of being strangled is significant. https://helmets.org/playgrou.htm

Most children you see wearing bike helmets on playgrounds rode their bikes there and just neglected to remove them. There are also a few children with seizure disorders who routinely wear helmets for protection.
