The issue? Neither of them are wearing helmets.

Hawk's Twitter quickly received numerous tweets saying he and his daughter should be wearing more protection.

Hawk responded with this:

...For those that say I endanger my child: it's more likely that you will fall while walking on the sidewalk than I will while skating with my daughter.

What do you think? Should Hawk and his daughter be wearing helmets? Or do you think Hawk, as a father, knows what's best?
