Two-wheeler riders make up 69% of motorized vehicles but are 30 times more likely to die in accidents than car drivers. Deaths are most common among young people aged 20-30, who share the road with larger, faster vehicles and lack protection. Head injuries cause 75-88% of deaths, often requiring long hospitalization and treatment. Wearing a helmet is effective at reducing both the likelihood and severity of head injuries in the event of an accident by absorbing impact forces and spreading them across the skull surface. While some cite discomfort or belief that accidents won't happen, compulsory helmet laws could significantly reduce two-wheeler rider deaths and disabilities.

Helmet - Awarness
69 % of total motorized vehicle are 2 wheelers. 2 wheeler rider is 30 times more likely to be killed than a car driver. Death most common in young people. 72% in age group of 20-30 years.
Share same road with fast moving cars, buses and trucks. Lack of physical protection. Less visible Lack of proper education about road rules & safe driving.
Riding a bike Riding a bike at 55 kmph means you are moving at 49 feet per second. It is the speed at which you would hit the ground, if you were to jump from the fourth floor of a building.
HEAD INJURY
75% to 88% of the death due to Head Injury. Treatment very costly. Requires long hospitalization & follow up. High changes of disability even after treatment / recovery.
Injuries Direct Indirect (Accelaration & Deaccelaration)
Prevention is better than cure. We cant prevent using 2-wheeler but can prevent Head-Injury.
Helmets are effective in reducing the likely hood of Head Injury as well as their severity.
Helmet - Awarness
Reduces severity by reducing impact force.
Outer hard coat Mechanical barrier- no direct contact Impact absorbing layer (1.5cm to 3cm) Absorb some of the impact Head comes to a halt more slowly so reduced deceleration less injury
Comfort Padding Keeps Head comfortably -- Helmet fits snugly. Spread the impact over a greater surface area so they are not concentrated on a particular area of skull
Chin Strap should not be loose, otherwise Helmet will come out during accident.
Helmet - Awarness
Face Protection Prevents collision with flying insects. Riding in rain possible Helps in controlling sun burn. Protects your eyes from the blast of moving air & dust.
False belief I am a good driver, no chance of accident. Going for short distance. Handling problem. Hot & uncomfortable.
False belief Hair loss Headache Neck pain Spinal injuries. Vision impairment Expensive. Not compulsory.
