Where we sled in our yard, for instance, there are no trees or other obstacles. When my son is sledding with my husband or me, the chance of a collision is remote, so a helmet is less necessary. Most kids these days are used to wearing helmets, whether they're biking, roller blading or ice skating. Throwing one on for sledding shouldn't be much of a stretch. It's makes perfect sense to extend the rule to sledding.
Helmets provide protection and insulation on particularly cold days.
