Helmet Safety

Each year thousands of people die and thousands more are seriously injured in bicycle, scooter, roller blade, and skateboard collisions. The most serious collisions involve head injuries. A single rule - wear a helmet – a properly fitted helmet can reduce the risk of head and brain injury by as much as 88 percent.
