Biking on the bridge in Miami is probably one of the best things to do on a weekend in Miami. The thrill of riding a bicycle down the bridge and feeling the wind on your face while seeing the ocean all laid out in front of you. It is truly a feeling you can only experience in Miami.
But this is also what makes biking so dangerous. Throughout most of Miami, there are biking lanes that are specifically dedicated for bicycles, but they share the same road as the cars. This is the part that makes it dangerous. With the big amount of cars in Miami and the influx of bikers realizing that Miami is in fact a nice place to bike and be in, the amount of bicycle accidents has increased as well.
How Do Helmets Help?
According to The Guardian, the helmet in fact helps reduce the likelihood of traumatic and severe brain injury by up to 65%.
So why was a study done on helmets?
Isn’t it obvious that helmets DO in fact assist in lessening the chance of traumatic head injury? After the mega study that was done in Australia, yes.
However, there were many bikers (professional) that wanted a comprehensive study as to why and how much better helmets actually are. Ironic that this is coming from professional bikers right? Well yes and no. Of course they know that helmets are important for the safety of riders in the case that they get flung over their bikes. But also, according to a survey, the main factor that deters people from riding a bike is actually the helmet. Lots of people don’t want to wear the helmet.
So how does the helmet actually prevent you from getting injured?
Well it’s quite simple. When you fall off your bike, your head is the most exposed and vulnerable portion of your body. Also when you fall off the bike, the direction you are thrown in is forward and mostly propelled through your head.
This is mainly why helmets are safe and prevent severe injury.
