Why Should I Wear a Bike Helmet? (from KidsHealth.org)

Wearing a helmet that fits well every time you're on a bike helps protect your face, head, and brain if you fall down. That's why it's so important to wear your bike helmet whenever you are on a bike.

Bike helmets are so important that the U.S. government has created safety rules for them. Your helmet should have a sticker that says it meets the rules set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). If your helmet doesn't have a CPSC sticker, ask your mom or dad to get you one that does.

Wear a bike helmet every time you ride, even if you're going for a short ride. And follow these rules:

Make sure your bike helmet fits you well.
Always wear your helmet the right way so it will protect you: Make sure it covers your forehead and don't let it tip back. Always fasten the straps.
Don't wear a hat under your helmet.
Take care of your helmet and don't throw it around. If it's damaged, it won't protect you as well when you need it.
Get a new helmet if you fall while you're on your bike and hit your head.

THIS HELMET CALLS FOR HELP!

Specialized has transformed the bicycle helmet into a live tracking device, crash detector, and safety beacon. No annual fees, a design that works with virtually any cycling helmet—ANGi not only adds protection, but it connects you to help when you need it most.

Protection Before- ANGi is a ride tracker. ANGi lets your emergency contacts know you’re heading out for a ride and, if you choose, to follow your ride in real time.

Protection During- ANGi is a crash detector. Wearing an ANGi-equipped helmet is like having a friend there making sure you’re okay.

Protection After- ANGi is a safety beacon. If you’re hurt, ANGi alerts your emergency contacts that you’ve crashed and sends them your location.
