Bei den meisten Fahrradunfällen ist kein Motorfahrzeug beteiligt. Die meisten Stürze bei Fahrradunfällen - auch solche bei denen Motorfahrzeuige beteiligt sind - haben als Fallhöhe die Kopfhöhe. Diese Stürze sind in jedem Fall in der lage permanente Gehirnverletzungen oder -schäden zur Folge zu haben. Es existieren Studeien über Helme und Verletzungswahrscheinichketen die belegen, dass Helme diese Art Verletzungen verhindern oder redzieren sollten und es auch tatsächlich machen. | |||
Bicyclists have a low injury and fatality rate in countries such as the Netherlands where terrain is table-flat, typical bicycle trips are short and slow, motorists are very cautious and bicyclists have priority in traffic. Still, wearing a helmet would increase safety of Dutch cyclists; and even more for other kinds of cycling and under other conditions. We recognize that the health advantages of bicycling outweigh the added risk of not wearing a helmet, but why not improve the odds? | Bicyclists have a low injury and fatality rate in countries such as the Netherlands where terrain is table-flat, typical bicycle trips are short and slow, motorists are very cautious and bicyclists have priority in traffic.

An individual making a free-will decision to purchase and wear a helmet probably has already decided to ride a bicycle. An individual forced by law to wear a helmet may not have made that decision, and some studies show a reduction in bicycle use if helmet laws are enforced. Also, some studies that look at a population at large show no reduction in fatality rates with helmet laws. This situation has been attributed to a low actual percentage of helmet use and by some to "risk homeostasis" -- that cyclists who wear helmets might compensate by taking more risks -- which, on the other hand, can mean riding more and taking trips that would otherwise be avoided. | An individual making a free-will decision to purchase and wear a helmet probably has already decided to ride a bicycle.
