It's not really healthy to eat ripe bananas period. Ripe bananas have a higher glycemic load than maple syrup and plain white bread, and the idea that bananas are especially high in potassium is basically a lie.

Glycemic load is not everything, the total amount of carb is much more important. Eating one ripe banana is comparatively more healthy than a meal full of carbs (e.g. a plate of pasta). Now if you eat fruits and drink juice all day long that's a problem...
It's also perfectly healthy to eat a ripe banana if you are doing a physical activity, as the insulin spike will likely help your muscles use the sugar and you won't store it.
It's not healthy to eat whole fruit (like bananas and apples) from the local grocery store?
source?
