Whether or not you won, make sure you’re wearing the proper helmet for the activity you’re enjoying and be sure it fits properly!
Studies have shown that when properly worn, a helmet can reduce the risk of a head injury by 85 per cent. An approved helmet absorbs and spreads the force of a fall or crash throughout the entire helmet, reducing your risk of a serious head injury.
Each activity has its own helmet standards, so use a helmet only as it was intended. For example, use a bike helmet for biking only – not for motorcycling or other activities.
Helmets help prevent head injuries, but the best way to avoid injuries is to avoid collisions. Wear your helmet as part of a commitment to ride safely -- including following the rules of the road and staying alert for hazards.
