It is often found that some cyclists do not wear helmets when riding, which is actually very dangerous. 45%-88% of head injuries can be avoided by wearing helmets. A person wearing a helmet can make the hit head stop relatively slowly, while a person without a helmet hitting his head on the ground often causes cerebral edema and bleeding. The assembled spheres in the helmet absorb the impact, preventing these unfortunate events from happening! The function of bicycle helmets to protect cyclists’ lives is unquestioned. According to the National Highway Safety Insurance report, people who wear helmets in crash accidents reduce their risk of serious head injuries by 85 percent, and wearing a helmet isn’t just cool, it’s really cool. At the same time, the same air hole on the helmet makes the head feel cooler. A clear mind is more likely to win the race. Generally speaking, bicycle helmets are designed to withstand at least two impacts, the first when they collide with another cyclist and the second when the cyclist falls to the ground. These materials cushion both impacts well.
Many bike riders don’t like wearing helmets. They don’t think it’s necessary. They think wearing a helmet on a bike looks “stupid”. But do you know how dangerous your life will be if your noble head is exposed? Here is a list of 14 questions that drivers don’t wear a helmet. After reading the standard answers, I believe you should know how much “life” really weighs.
14 STUPID Questions about Wearing a Helmet on a Bike, and their answers:
1. My head is hard
When you fall to the ground from a stationary bike, your head hits the ground at 7 miles per hour, enough to crack your skull and kill you.
2. I just walk slowly on dirt or grass.
So what? Learn from the first rule, are you going slower than you stopped? Is your trajectory precisely preprogrammed? And all the dangerous spots on the road are cleared?
3. I never dress up like a child!
Of course not. Few people actually bought helmets when they first went on sale in the mid-1970s. What kind of generation are you from?
4. I’m not wearing a helmet, but I’m alive and well.
By this logic, we should stop vaccinating our children. Because most of the children around you are still alive.
5. Wearing a helmet makes you feel silly
Safety conscious people can effectively prevent themselves from getting head injuries and becoming really goofy.
6. I’m not going to die
Everybody knows that it’s definitely not just bicycles that cause accidents. There are 200 to 300 permanent brain injuries every day in the United States. That’s a big risk factor. Indeed, on average, two or three bike-related deaths occur every day. Most of these two or three accidents were caused by not wearing proper helmets and performing high-risk movements.
7. My friends (or parents) don’t wear helmets
Can you learn to jump when your friend jumps off a bridge? Smart people can learn, this can’t!
8. The helmet is too heavy
Most helmets weigh between 9 and 16 ounces, which is equivalent to between 250 and 450 grams. Note: Cheap helmets are mostly heavy.
9. Wearing a helmet is too hot
It does feel a bit hot in the summer when you’re not riding. But as you ride, air will circulate through the pores in your helmet, creating an effective cooling system. Note: The cheaper the helmet, the less ventilated it will be and the less effective it will be, so it will feel hotter. In winter, wear a hood under your helmet to keep you warmer.
10. Wearing a helmet is uncomfortable
Wearing a helmet for the first time may be a bit strange, but you’ll soon get used to it, just like wearing sunglasses for the first time. In addition, cheap helmets are generally uncomfortable, and these manufacturers lack the ability to design them humanely. You’d think they’d ignore testing for safety, let alone comfort.
11. Helmets are expensive
The average head injury, ambulance, emergency room, doctor, etc. costs at least 50 times as much as a good helmet. However, if you wear a proper helmet, even if the fall will not be too serious, the cost will not be too much. Just imagine the difference between buckling up and not wearing a seat belt.
12. Helmets are ugly
There are ugly helmets, but they are beautiful when they have a brand and a design. Especially for children, they prefer to wear helmets, so that they look cooler and more beautiful. Like motorcycle helmets, premium ones are cool. You don’t wear a helmet because you’re so ugly?
13. The helmet messed up my hair
Yeah, but at least it won’t be as bad as breaking your head. Just bring a comb.
14. How does a helmet protect you?
If you fall, the helmet will break, not you. Like Formula One, cars are broken up to protect drivers from shocks and shocks.
