If the injury happened the other way around, they'd say "Should have
worn a helmet." Why do pedestrians get a free pass on that?

Because no one markets helmets for pedestrians.

Well, if a walking baby is a pedestrian then in fact they do make
protective helmets for them.
http://www.amazon.com/Thudguard-Baby.../dp/B001OWCOTS

And if one has small children it would be good to know that these
protective devices can be obtained for only $42.95.

Not only that but I came across a site discussing whether crawling
babies need to wear helmets. An excerpt reads, "Before it sounds like
I'm mocking parents who choose to use protective headgear during the
toddling and crawling stages, I'll admit I can see the allure."

The mind boggles!

I wonder whether having bump protection at such an early age results in
a clumsy approach to physical activity? Maybe this continues later in life?
