I'm pretty sure babies have fallen by themselves all throughout history and we seem to be doing well enough despite a lack of evolutionary headgear. That being said, if a kid falls hard and back on their head frequently, then maybe supervision is a good idea on hard floor surfaces, and favor areas of your place that are more thickly carpeted in which to walk around aimlessly with more freedom. I remember my dad telling me once about me doing this, and he just carried a regular bed pillow with him while I trotted around. If i took a spill, you could see it coming, and he'd just toss the pillow in my general direction- worked like a charm, aparently.
