Bicycle helmet

biking accident, they found only a little over 25 percent wore a helmet. When researchers compared this to cyclists who wore a helmet, they discovered that those who wear a helmet have a 58 percent decreased likelihood of undergoing a serious traumatic brain injury after an accident. In addition, they had 59 percent less chances that they would die, and they had 61 percent less likelihood that surgeons would need to remove part of their skull. Brain bleeding becomes a serious issue after an injury with biking. What researchers wanted to uncover was whether wearing a helmet would reduce the risk of head bleeds when people experience a biking accident. Does the helmet protect people from this. According to Dr. Bellal Joseph, if you examine the medical records of these people, what you find is that yes, wearing a helmet does make a difference. Another interesting statistic that researchers learned? The age group that had the lowest rate for wearing helmets was between 10 to 20, and they found that as people aged, they had higher chances of wearing a…

head injuries were a problem so they started wearing pith helmets. Pith is a crushable material and would probably break up on contact but it was likely the best material available. There weren’t many cars so they only needed protection against one impact. After the pith helmets came, helmets made of strips of leather-covered padding, some called “hairnets” were the new style of helmet. It was a ring of leather around the head supplemented by strips of leather arranged longitudinally on the…

How do sports helmets protect the brain? A helmet protects the head from injuries. It is designed as a protective gear to minimize the injury on head and brain. -Contain a layer of crushable foam: Foam part of helmet crushes when you hit and crash a hard surface. Crash energy is controlled and head’s stopping time is extended by about six thousandths of a second (6 ms) when you hit and crash a hard surface to minimise the peak impact of the brain. Internal strains and rotational forces are…

Cyclists Lives Matter One second of looking away or at the time was distracted caused a toddler to fall. One second of looking away or at the time was distracted shattered a biker to pieces. Consider bikers as babies and toddlers. In a similar fashion, a toddler roams around freely but the second of looking away, this toddler is injured. Bikers are very enthusiastic and eager and desire to share the roads with other vehicles. Remember the time your father or perhaps your mother taught you how…

Helmet laws have become controversial over time. Despite being created to protect bikers, many of them feel that they’re a violation of their freedom. In his essay called “Helmet Laws Discriminate Against Bikers”, Stan Daniels attempts to prove that not only are helmet laws unnecessary and annoying, they violate the freedom of Americans. According to Daniels, laws requiring bikers to wear helmets are discriminatory and against the freedom America claims to give its citizens. In this essay i’ll…

Almost half of all motorcycle injuries involve the face. Horrific and fatal injuries do occur to the face, chin, and jaw. Surviving a serious…

Researchers at Stanford University are testing a different type of helmet that inflates airbag to protect against collision. Originally created to improve the aesthetic look of a traditional helmet, this inflatable helmet also seemed to protect a biker’s head quiet better than the traditional one during an accident. The helmets biker’s are wearing these days are better than not at all, but not that effective during an accident. Most of the biker’s don’t want to use the heavy helmets because of…

The idea of using biosensors to fight against TBI and concussion has been the inspiration for many types of research. Ouckama et al., 2010 used the force-sensing resistor to test the effectiveness of wearing a helmet (Ouckama 2010). Sport-helmets are believed to secure the head and surrounding tissue against impact. They are regulated by different agencies like ISO and ASTM International. With stimulation studies using the 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA), a clear evidence of how much these…
