Abstract

As yet there has not been reported an adequate fielddemonstration of the protective effects of bicycle safety helmets. Evaluation of helmet efficacy has rested almost entirely on laboratory tests of questionable relevance toreal world accidents. It is estimated that the risk of death from head injury is 3-10 times greater for unhelmeted relative to helmeted bicyclists, depending on helmet type.
