Do I have to wear a helmet?

Do your kids wear a bike helmet? How about you? In 2000, 90 percent of people killed in bicycle accidents were not wearing helmets. 71% of those people were 16 years old and older. When parents wear helmets, kids are more likely to wear them, too.

In addition to saving your life, a bike helmet can prevent head injury. In fact, if you wear a helmet, you reduce your risk of head injury by 85%. You can explain to kids that injuring your head can change you. You may not be able to read, play video games, talk, run or even feed yourself. As for adults, a brain injury increases your risk for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
