My daughter has a cycle. Every day she goes to school by riding it. But most of the time she doesn't want to wear the helmet. When I force her to wear it she always nags that it isn't comfortable for her. But I don't care about it. But one day she was in an accident and injured badly. She doesn't know how to wear cycle helmet properly. So she was not comfortable with the helmet.

Every cycle rider of all ages should wear the cycle helmet to protect their head from any kind of accident .85%percent of head injury can be reduced by wearing a cycle helmet. Riders should know how to wear cycle helmets.

Cycle helmet reduces the risk of traumatic brain injury during an accident.

Cycle riders must wear a securely suited approved helmet. Correctly fitted and fastened helmets protect the rider in a crash.

So it is necessary to know how to wear cycle helmet for every rider. A cycle helmet should be light and comfortable to wear. So riders should select it according to their needs, size, and setup.

Let's follow some helmet wearing instructions.

Standard

One should purchase a helmet that has a certifying label or an approved sticker. They should follow the brand.

Size

Before purchasing a helmet, one must measure the size of the head. When wearing a helmet, make sure that it is not rocking side to side. If the helmet has a sizing pad, then use that to fit the head. Again some helmets have universal fit rings to adjust to the head. Don't be inspired by its stylish design. Make sure that it is fit for you or not. Again if the helmet is too big, it would be noisy and moves up and down and around the head. It discomforts the rider while riding.

Position

The cycle helmet needs to fix the level on your head. The helmet should be adjusted squarely on the head and must cover your forehead. The front side of the helmet should be lower on the brow there should be two fingers width above the eyebrows to protect the forehead. Between the helmet and forehead shouldn't have space more than a fingertip. Wear helmets but can not be tilted back on the head.

Adjusting the helmet

Hold the helmet upside down. After that, straighten the straps and grip it in place with the thumbs. Actually by adjusting the helmet one can easily understand how to wear cycle helmet.

Buckle

Buckle the strap. Riders should not wear a helmet loosely either it will slide back or fall off in a crash. It should be tight and adjusted appropriately. Belts need to be buckled snugly under the chin. If Helmets snugly fastened at the time of crush, that would reduce head injury. Both side straps should be adjusted in that way to form a "V" under and in front of the ear.

Chinstrap

The chin strap should be snugly tightened. Be sure that one or two fingers can be put under the chin strap.

Check up the fitting of the helmet

Yawn or open your mouth. If the helmet pulls down on the head, it fits perfectly.

The helmets position should be checked by rotating it on the head, front to back, side to side. If the skin moves with the helmet we can say this fits perfectly; an imperfect helmet needs to be replaced with a fit one.

Helmets should not be fixed too far back by exposing the forehead or too far forward by exposing the back of the head.

Adjust the tightness

Riders should not wear too tight helmets. It will be uncomfortable and cause pressure to the point. It causes a headache after a long ride. It would also be tough to take off or take on.

There are some situations to do this :

If the back of the helmet hoists more, it can move far forward. So, tighten up the back straps.

If the front side hoists, the helmet can move far back. So, tighten up the front straps.

If the straps do not fit properly, helmets move side to side. It means the helmet is too big, so choose a fit one.

Ventilated helmet

A less ventilated helmet is suitable in cold weather or, a more ventilated one is in the heat. In cold weather, one can use a cotton cap under the helmet while cycling. A cycling cap is useful in hail, snow, and rain. Wearing a cap under a helmet is an excellent precaution in the sun for a bald person. Riders should not concentrate on how he looks. Their priority would be on their safety.

There are some dos and don'ts in using a helmet. Let's explain:

Do's

1.Bright colored helmets

Use bright colored helmets and clothing that others can easily see on the road which helps avoid accidents.

2.Replacement of helmet

Replacement of the helmet is necessary for some reasons :

If it faces a severe crush.

If there is any crack in the foam.

If the straps are worn or frayed.

Children are an outgrowth, and they don't handle it properly. They damage it in a short time. So their helmets need to be replaced several times.

Don'ts

1.Riders should not use a skateboard style helmet because their strap angle lies flat against the face. Sometimes the riders can not fasten the straps properly.

2.We should avoid a full-face helmet also. They have little ventilation and sometimes cause vision and hearing problems.

3.We should not reuse any used helmets. Give away your old helmet also. Generally, a helmet lasts for five years.

Finally, we can say every cycle rider must need to know how to wear cycle helmet. It secures your safety of life. Moreover, any time accidents can happen. That time this helmet would save the critical brain injury.

Parents especially should be careful about their child's cycle helmet because this is an important savior of their child’s life.
