Helmets for preventing head and facial injuries in bicyclists
Background: Each year, in the United states, approximately persons die from injuries due to bicycle crashes and over , persons are treated in emergency departments. Head injury is by far the greatest risk posed to bicyclists, comprising one-third of emergency department visits, two-thirds of hospital admissions, and three-fourths of deaths. Facial injuries to cyclists occur at a rate nearly identical to that of head injuries. Although it makes inherent sense that helmets would be protective against head injury, establishing the real-world effectiveness of helmets is important.

Bicycle Helmet Safety FAQ’s




Reducing the Risk of Head Injuries During Bicycle Accidents Through Helmet use
NHTSA is the Federal government agency responsible for reducing deaths, injuries, and economic losses caused by motor vehicle crashes. The agency sets and enforces traffic safety performance standards for motor vehicles, and conducts crash testing to determine how well different models protect passengers. Although bicycle helmets have been shown to significantly reduce the incidence of head injuries, many kids, teens, and adults neglect to wear them while riding. Researchers from the May Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, designed a survey to collect information about how often kids, teens, and adults wore bicycle helmets and their reasons for wearing them or not wearing them. Children in grades 2 through 12 at three local schools and people we were riding on local paved bicycle trails were invited to participate; 2, surveys were completed and analyzed. Survey participants were asked how frequently they wore a bicycle helmet, and if they didn't wear a helmet, they were asked to give reasons why. Children who were surveyed were also asked whether their parents wore bicycle helmets.

It is actually far more common for a bicyclist to sustain a severe head injury, rather than death, during an accident with a motorist. Our team of experienced injury attorneys represent residents of Chicago and surrounding cities, who sustained severe injuries, as a result of an accident occurring between a motorist and bicyclist. Because bicyclists lack the protection that vehicles provide, injuries sustained in bicycling accidents are often much more severe than the injuries that may be sustained by a motorist during the same accident.





Bicycle helmets were not found to have any statistically significant effect on cervical spine injury. There is no indication that the results from bicycle helmet studies are affected by a lack of control for confounding variables, time trend bias or publication bias. The results do not indicate that bicycle helmet effects are different between adult cyclists and children.
