RIDESAFEINDIA ? Road Safety is no accident. And let us improve safety on roads and each one of us has a role to play in it.
HELMET PLEASE! ? Wearing a helmet is proved to be the single most effective way of reducing head injuries and fatalities from motorcycle, moped and bike crashes. ? Bikers love to hit the road on two wheels. We all love the feeling of freedom, the ease of travel, the thrill, the cool, making the youth less likely to wear helmets shows research.

? I travel extensively throughout the country. ? Over the last months, I have witnessed and provided first-aid to so many victims of road accidents on the Maharashtra State Highways and in city. ? We also read of deaths of bikers every day in newspapers.
? Besides, I myself had a road-accident on Jan-end and was saved of head injury just because of helmet but am temporarily incapacitated for last 2 months and cannot do any adventure activity for next month at least…
SOME STATISTICS: PUNE
RESEARCHING ABOUT ROAD ACCIDENTS, I GOT THE STATISTICS:
? Each year, nearly 1.3 million people die as a result of road traffic collision- more than 3000 deaths each day- more than half of these people are bikers.
? 20-50 million more people sustain non-fatal injuries from collision and these injuries are important cause of disability worldwide, with devastating impact on families and communities.
? Road traffic injuries are among the 3 leading causes of death for people between 15-44 yrs. of age.
? Unless immediate and effective steps are taken, road traffic injuries are predicted to become the 5th leading cause of death in the world resulting in an estimated 2.4 million deaths each year.
STOP GIVING YOURSELF THOSE STUPID EXCUSES FOR NOT WEARING HELMET.

? When considering that a helmetless rider involved in an accident is three times as likely to suffer a brain injury as a motorcyclist wearing a helmet, wearing a helmet is a smart proposition.
? A helmet is the best protective gear you can wear while riding a motorcycle. A helmet will not only protect your head from a potential injury, but also cut down on wind noise, windblast on your face and eyes, and deflect bugs and other debris that flies through the air. It will also protect you from changing weather conditions and reduce rider fatigue.
