Head injuries are the #1 cause of serious injury and death to children on wheels. The most severe injuries are those involving the brain; even what seems like a minor head injury may cause permanent brain damage. A helmet can save a child's life.
A properly fitted and correctly warn helmet can reduce the risk of a serious brain injury by 85%. This means that 4 out of 5 brain injuries could be prevented if every cyclist wore a helmet (Safe Kids Canada).
