Closed on

In a majority of bicyclist deaths, the most serious injuries are to the head, highlighting the importance of wearing a bicycle helmet. 1 Helmet use has been estimated to reduce the odds of head injury by 50 percent, and the odds of head, face, or neck injury by 33 percent

What kids think on the subject.
“Yes, it should be made the law because the only reason people don't wear helmets is because they would be made fun of. So if everyone wore one then no-one would be made fun of."
