Really depends on the type of accident. For a fairly low-speed accident helmets can certainly save a lot of people from scratches, lumps and bruises and the occasional concussion. But don't expect too much from the helmet if you get hit by a car and run over.
Bicycle helmets are designed for safety first and foremost. The hard shell and padded inside protect the head from injury in the event of a fall or accident on a bicycle.
You have to wear Bicycle Helmets while biking to protect your head and most of your neck from damage caused by a road accident.Hope this helps,sweetnicole27
Bicycle riders are expected to fall less often, but with more force than skateboarders. So bicycle helmets are made to soak up more force, and then be replaced after a bad fall. Skateboard helmets are made to soak up less force, but to remain useful even after several falls. Bicycle helmets are also generally made to allow more airflow, to keep the rider's head cooler during hard riding.
um, because they protect your head from major maybe even deadly injuries
A football helmet reduces injury in quite some ways.1: They reduce the ability to crack your skull.2: They reduce the ability to cause brain damage of any kind.3: The facemask keeps you from busting your lip, loosening/cracking/chipping teeth,and breaking your nose or causing any other sort of nose injuries.4:They also reduce the ability to break/fracture your jaw.Back ThenBack then, when football was just invented, it is said that players wore thin leather helmets with no facemask. There were alot more facial injuries than there are todayTODAY NOWPeople have made new helmets with strenthened plastic under coated with soft material to keep you head in line. There are still head injuries or injuries on the face like: Broken Jaw(from about 5 to 12 weeks depending on how many places were broken or how hard the impact was),mild concussion(some memory loss,head aches.from about 2 to 6 weeks),and severe concussion(lots of memory loss, many head aches.(from about 6 to 13 weeks or possibly more). But football helmets reduce injury in many,many ways
blows to the head that would have been fatal before the introduction of the helmet became head injuries after the helmet was introduced instead of a fatality.
Kinda-sorta. Serious head injuries from casual, utility minded bicycling are quite rare. OTOH even minor head injuries aren't much fun. And for what they cost and the effort it takes to wear them, they offer good protection against the most common kinds of bicycle accidents.
Revolution helmets, manufactured by Riddell, are worn whilst playing American Football. These helmets are worn for safety purposes and protect against major head injuries.
Helmets were important to the Romans because they protected the head and prevented many serious injuries, just as helmets today protect those wearing them. The Romans used helmets for much the same purposes as we do, such as, in the military, in chariot racing and in gladiatorial combats.Helmets were important to the Romans because they protected the head and prevented many serious injuries, just as helmets today protect those wearing them.

That's really hard to tell. Not many people report injuries that hasn't happened, so all the "evidence" is secondary. Simply looking at the number of reported injuries doesn't tell the whole story, as there are plenty of other factors that influence the whole number of riders quite strongly for instance.On top of that (utility oriented) bicycle riding is really quite safe, so there isn't that a big number of injuries to begin with.Another thing is that as helmets go, bicycle helmets are a bit flimsy. Hit hard enough and you will get hurt even when wearing a helmet. The helmet will have offered quite a bit of protection, but exactly how much more you would have been hurt w/o isn't easy to determine. Maybe it's the difference between a split eyebrow AND a concussion and a split eyebrow only.It's really hard to tell, as it's so dependent on how you fall. If you're actually run over, or hit by a car at speed, then the helmet might not be particularly helpful. But if you skid on an oil slick, get a wheel stuck in a grating or something like that they can do a lot of good.no85% a common CA traffic school question!100%If you hit your head in a bike accident, wearing a helmet will reduce head injury 100% percent of the time.
The common injuries that are suffered from bull riders are head and face injuries. Helmets and faceguards are given for bull riders to wear but are not mandated to wear.
