Cycle Helmets Reduce the Risk of Severe Brain Injuries
Leading cycle injury specialist, David McWilliam deals with hundreds of cycle accidents and supports the case for wearing a cycle helmet to reduce the possibility of a serious head injury. He has dealt with many head injury cases – some were wearing helmets and some were not. In the majority of cases, the cyclists who were not wearing a helmet sustained more serious head or brain injuries. This affects them at work and at home. The impact on them and their loved ones is massive.
David explains:
“I have had clients who have said that they normally wear a helmet but on this one occasion they didn’t wear one as they were only going for a short local ride and thought they would be OK. Do not take anything for granted. Always wear a cycle helmet. It will give you a much better chance if you are knocked off.
Cyclists spend thousands of pounds on their bikes but then buy a £20-30 helmet. Always get the best helmet that you can afford and always wear it.”
