Would You Spend $5.95 to Save A Life?
Every year, thousands of children are treated in hospital emergency rooms across the country for head trauma and injuries suffered in bike and skating falls and crashes. Over half of the most serious injuries happen when children are riding in their own neighborhoods.
No one can say for certain that any bicycle accident is totally avoidable or that any injury can be completely prevented. One thing is certain. Wearing a helmet when riding your bike, skateboard, roller skates or inline skates can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 85%!!
What is the Best Helmet?
One that is Worn!
Choosing a helmet that looks great and feels good may help to insure that your child wears it.

BONES HEAL – BRAINS DON’T.
Even a “minor” head injury can cause long term problems with memory and learning.

IT’S THE LAW!
It is now illegal for anyone 14 years or under to ride bikes, roller skates, inline skates, or skateboards without wearing a helmet.
What about those over 14 years of age?
Everyone’s head is important to protect regardless of age. Since New Jersey’s bike helmet law in 1992 bike related fatalities have decreased 60% for children under 14. For those over 14, the statistics are unchanged and even increased for men 20-54 yrs. Also studies show children are 90% more likely to wear a helmet if their parent does.
Set a good example and wear a helmet too!
