The reason for wearing a riding Bike Helmet is simple and very important-to protect the head and reduce injuries. Relevant data shows that in more than 500 cycling deaths each year, 75% of the deaths are caused by fatal head injuries. Medical research has found that wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle can prevent 85% of head injuries and greatly reduce the degree of injury and accident mortality. Half-face riding helmets are divided into road-specific (no brim), road and mountain dual-use (with detachable brim), etc.
At present, most of the helmets on the market are made of plastic, glass fiber, and carbon fiber. Among them, plastic helmets account for the majority, while glass fiber and carbon fiber helmets have a very small market share and high prices due to complex processes and expensive materials.
Is the helmet made of carbon fiber safer than helmets made of other materials? In fact, under the same helmet body and certification, the characteristics of the material will affect the weight of the helmet, and there is no experimental data to show the difference in the impact on safety. Therefore, high-priced carbon fiber helmets are not necessarily safer, but it must be noted that the extremely low-priced helmets, try not to choose them, because they may be helmets made of secondary recycled materials.
Misunderstanding 2: The more expensive the helmet, the better
Many helmets are expensive, not because they are very safe, but because some helmet manufacturers will make a fuss about the "decorative" and appearance of the helmet, thus making very popular products. The more complex the process, the more sophisticated the materials, the more refined the workmanship, and the more accessory designs and procedures, the greater the cost of the helmet, and the higher the natural price, but the higher the price does not necessarily mean the higher the degree of safety.
Misunderstanding 3 Large-size Road Bike Helmet are more comfortable
Why would someone choose a freshman size helmet to wear? The main reason is that the inner liner of the helmet is generally designed to fit and wrap the head, resulting in small space, poor air circulation, and sultry heat. The disadvantage of wearing a helmet with a larger size is that it is easy to cause the helmet to fall off in an accidental impact, thus losing its protective effect.
The current helmets pay attention to the design of front and rear air ducts for heat dissipation. The speed of riding gradually increases, the ventilation and heat dissipation of the helmet will gradually manifest, and the stuffy situation will be improved. Generally, it can be used for a period of time.
Misunderstanding 4 If the helmet is dropped from the car, the helmet must be replaced
Should I change the helmet after falling from the car? This depends on the situation. According to the tests conducted by many manufacturers and laboratory professionals, the dropped helmet may cause damage to the foam layer of the helmet, resulting in a decrease in safety.
Generally, the hand slipped and dropped from the height of the handlebar or 1 meter, and it did not cause serious damage such as cracks in the helmet shell. In this case, you can not change it. However, if this fall causes a crack in the helmet body, you can replace it with a new helmet.
Misunderstanding 5: Listen to others saying that the brand is good, blindly follow the choice
When there is no comprehensive or systematic understanding of some basic knowledge of helmets, the way most people obtain relevant knowledge is generally through "listening and listening". Once they hear that a certain brand of helmets is good, they often follow suit to buy. In fact, different helmets vary greatly in material, price, and size. The type of helmet you buy may not be suitable for you. It is best to try it on yourself before buying a helmet.
