All signs point to summer.
As adults and children head for the great outdoors to enjoy hot fun in the summertime, NFPA offers the following tips to make this season safer. Scooter and bike safety Scooters, bikes, in-line skates and skateboards are associated with numerous injuries yearly. Wear a comfortable, properly fitted helmet bearing the label of an independent testing lab. Be sure that the helmet sits level on top of the head not rocking in any direction and always fasten the safety strap. Wrist pads are not recommended for scooter riders as they may affect their ability to maneuver.
