USES OF HELMETS. HOW TO USE IT. HOW TO WEAR
Answers
Answer:
take it and keep it in your head
Answer:
1.1 Many people around the world die in motorcycle collisions: The module
begins by describing the magnitude of the problem of motorcycle crashes, and
resulting head injuries. It explains the global distribution of the problem, noting
that if present trends continue, many low-income and middle-income countries
are likely to experience an increase in the number of motorcycle crashes in the near
future. The section describes how head injuries that result from motorcycle collisions are a leading cause of death and disability.
1.2 A helmet protects your head: This section describes what can happen to the
head in the event of a motorcycle or bicycle collision. It then goes on to explain
the physical components of a helmet and the way in which they reduce the impact
of a collision. This section also describes how helmets are designed to meet certain
requirements.
1.3 Helmet use is effective at reducing head injuries: This section summarizes
the evidence from studies that have evaluated the effectiveness of helmets in reducing death and injury.
1.4 Helmet programmes are effective at getting helmets on heads: Introducing legislation on helmet use has been shown to be effective in increasing helmetwearing rates and reducing head injuries, as summarized in this section.
As mentioned in the Introduction, this manual is focused on how to increase helmet
use among motorcycle users. The increasing use of motorized two-wheelers, and the
high speed at which motorcycles can travel compared to bicycles, means that the
primary audience of this manual will be those seeking to increase motorcycle helmet
use. Nonetheless, it is assumed that much of the technical guidance that is provided
in the text will be equally relevant, and can be applied easily, to those seeking to
introduce a helmet programme for bicycle users.
