Abstract

Why bicycle helmets are not effective in the reduction of injuries of cyclists. New studies show that the effectiviness of bicycle helmets have been hugely overestimated in the past. A this moment, it is not even certain that there is a positive effect at all: an upper boundary of its effectiviness is currently 6 %. Promotion of the bicycle helmet is counterproductive from a health point of view. (Author/publisher)
