Best Answer

Depends on how you fall, and at which speed. For a fall at low-to-moderate speed at a flattish surface a bike helmet can save you from quite a lot, while a helmet won't be of particular use if you get hit head on by a car at full speed.

Are protec helmets suitable for riding a push bike?

Protec helmets are mainly intended for skating/skateboarding. The main design difference between a skate and a bike helmet is that the bike helmet is designed to take one big hit and then be discarded, while skate helmets can take several smaller hits and still be OK to use. If you were to take a really hard fall, then a bike helmet will protect more than a skate helmet, they can soak up more energy. Still, the "wrong" helmet will offer more protection than no helmet.
