The first thing to consider is that the use of a helmet, both on a bicycle and a scooter, can prevent or reduce the risk of serious head injuries, both in collisions and in falls. The helmet absorbs part of the energy and distributes it over a larger surface area.
However, despite their benefits, we find that many children do not use this important security system.
Currently the law requires the use of a helmet for all cyclists on interurban roads. However, on urban roads this is only compulsory for children under 16 years of age.
