The most serious injuries incurred while riding a bicycle or tricycle are to the head, highlighting how important it really is to wear a bicycle helmet at all times. Each year, the number of biking- related head injuries requiring a trip to the hospital exceeds the total of all head injuries related to all other popular sports, including football. Each year, over 600,000 people are injured while bicycling, with nearly a thousand fatalities. Head injury is the most common cause of death and serious disability in bicycle-related crashes. Many of these nonfatal head injuries produce lifelong disability from irreversible brain damage.  

     

Not to overstate the obvious, but using bicycle helmets is extremely effective in preventing head injury.  And though every adult knows that, the scary reality is that only about twenty percent of all bike riders wear a helmet at any given time.  The excuses for this vary from children who fear being made fun of by playmates, to the old "I wasn't going far- just around the corner." Cyclists are always at risk to fall and injure their heads, regardless of what surface they are riding on. While bicycle safety training is also helpful in preventing injuries, using these common sense tips does not eliminate the necessity of bicycle helmets.
