What are the consequences of riding a scooter without a helmet?

It is very dangerous to ride a scooter without a helmet. In the event of an accident, without any protection on the head, the trauma will be very serious, ranging from head concussion to brain death.

So wearing a helmet is also to protect the head and reduce injuries. Relevant data show that of the more than 500 bicycle fatalities every year, 75% of the deaths are caused by fatal head injuries. Medical research has found that wearing a helmet while riding can prevent 85% of head injuries and greatly reduce the severity of injuries and accident mortality. Half-face cycling helmets are divided into road-specific (no brim), road and mountain dual-use (with removable brim), etc.

We learned from the Traffic Police Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department that starting from June 1, all provinces will simultaneously carry out the "One Helmet, One Belt" persuasion and correction campaign, mainly to urge riders to consciously wear safety helmets. The focus of the rectification is: car drivers and passengers who fail to use seat belts as required; motorcycle riders who fail to wear safety helmets as required; electric bicycle riders who do not wear safety helmets as required.

Purchasing a helmet:

First of all, when purchasing a cycling helmet, be sure to check whether the selected helmet has a national quality inspection label Directory label. According to legal regulations, cycling helmets sold in my country must meet the safety standards stipulated by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine before they can be sold to customers. Otherwise, it is an illegal product.

Secondly, in order to reduce injuries in an accident, cycling helmets are equipped with safety straps, and the straps can make the helmet and head fit better. Therefore, be sure not to let the safety belt become a companion piece of the helmet and swing back and forth on both sides of the face without fastening it.

Finally, after selecting a cycling helmet that meets the nationally certified safety labels, the next step is to determine whether the selected helmet is comfortable to wear. Different cycling helmets come in different specifications, including helmets designed specifically for female cyclists. Riders please pay attention when purchasing a helmet. No matter how accurately you measure the size, it will not be as good as trying it on in person. In order to ensure that you buy a comfortable riding helmet, cyclists should go to the bike store to choose it in person, and do not buy a helmet that does not suit them based solely on the recommendations or praise of others.
