Ride Smart - It's Time to Start
Bicycle-related injuries, many of them head injuries, account for more emergency room visits by American children, ages 5 to 14, than those involving any other sport. And while bicycle helmets can reduce the risk of head injury by nearly 90 percent, many image-conscious children of middle and high school age don’t always wear one. These kids often complain that helmets make them look "dorky." What these kids don’t realize is that a head injury can affect their senses, the way they think and talk, or cause permanent physical changes. This video uses a humorous and entertaining peer-to-peer approach to teach young adults that wearing a bicycle helmet can protect them from serious injuries (including brain injuries) and death.
