Wearing a helmet is good
Posted Wednesday 23rd April 2008, 11:02 am by Dunx

Latest Study On Helmet Wearing Confirms Finding of Earlier Studies



A new study in to ski injuries by Professor Peter Cummings of the University of Washington has concluded that wearing a helmet reduces the chances of injury by 15 per cent.

The study was based on reports of 4224 face, neck and head injuries during the period from 2000 to 2005 in three resorts. Between 21 and 25 per cent of those who suffered injuries were wearing helmets.

Previous studies in Canada and Italy had also concluded that helmet wearing increased chances of avoiding injury from a head impact, although the earlier studies found that the increase in safety was up to 60 per cent.

The study did not find that any skier level or gender or any other group was more likely to be helped by wearing helmet and confirmed the findings of the earlier studies that there was no truth in the urban myth that wearing a helmet increased the risk of neck injury.
