Bicycle helmets are a form of passive protection and have been shown to reduce both the severity and incidence of head injuries to cyclists. Countless studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of helmets in reducing the severity of a head injury [14], also significantly decreasing the likelihood of a fatal injury occurring [3]. Tests revealed that the helmet reduced the resulting peak acceleration by 29% compared to the unprotected form [13]. Despite these findings, only a smaller percentage (4%) of bicycle accident victims were wearing helmets at the time of the accident [14]. Another study reported that 94% of cyclists involved in an accident were not wearing helmets [3]. At least 50% of cyclists with head injuries recorded with a score of 3 or 4 on the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) were not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident [13]. Interestingly, cyclists who cycle suffer more frequent head injuries than those who cycle
