HELMETS SHOULD BE WORN FOR ALL ACTIVITIES ON WHEELS

Imagine spending all your life like a vegetable in a wheel chair? Just think; no running, no racing your best friend, no dancing… Life would be a nightmare and all this could have been avoided if and only if you had just worn a helmet before using your wheels.

Most importantly, helmets should be used when using any kind of wheels like roller skating, cycling or biking. It is easy to lose balance and fall while using wheels. Falls can be dangerous especially to the head. Head injury leads to brain damage that can cause death or even affect us for life. Helmets protect your head from injury because they are made in a way that they can absorb the impact rather than your head or your brain. Also 75% of all fatal crashes involve head injuries that are life threatening. In 2008, 9 out of 10 cyclists who died were not wearing helmets.

Moreover helmets make you more visible to other drivers as they can see you from a distance. Almost all helmets have a reflective tape that helps other drivers see you especially when riding at dusk or dawn. Helmets come in bright colors that allow you to be noticed from a distance. Therefore wearing helmets decreases the chances of you getting hit by other vehicles.

Helmets come in different shapes, sizes and colors. Why not wear helmets as bold fashion statement. Put stickers on them, paint them and make them as attractive as possible. They can be stylish, make you stand out in the crowd and protect you at the same time. Helmets  are also good at protecting  you from rain and dust.

There are so many reasons why you should wear helmets while biking, roller blading or any activity that needs you to maintain your balance. The most important reason for wearing a helmet is to protect your head from injury and saving your life. So why you don’t you go ahead and wear a helmet and be safe .
