If only that were true here on "third world" countries too - here you can get helmets made of paper-thin plastic and cheap styrofoam in whatever bike shop and mall. Even those are being sold for kids.
Styrofoam is the most important part of any helmet, from professional motorcycle racing helmets to kids bicycle helmets. They like to make it sound fancy by calling it EPS or 'expanded polystyrene'. It's what slows down the impact.
