"If a helmet meets the CSA standard, it's a better helmet as far as safety goes." Every year across Canada, many people -- especially chil- dren -- are seriously injured or killed while cycling because they don't wear cycling hel- mets. Most of these accidents happen close to home and are caused by falls, not collisions. "Although Canada has an excellent standard for cycling helmets, relatively few chil- dren or adults wear them," adds Lewis. "A recent survey revealed an overall helmet wearing rate of 11.9 per cent. Only 8.5 per cent of children 9 and under, and 3.7 per cent of children 10-14 wear helmets." Experience with helmet use by both motorcyclists and in minor league hockey has shown that helmets reduce fatalities and head injuries. This evidence has been so definitive, that all provinces have legislated the use of motorcycle helmets. For simi - lar reasons, the wearing of head protection has been man- dated for children playing hockey, and has resulted in a dramatic reduction of head, eye and face injuries. When purchasing a helmet, certain factors must be consid- ered; type (soft, thin or hard- shell), weight, coolness, fit and price. Type of helmet Most bicycle helmets contain a thick foam liner made of expanded polystyrene that absorbs energy during impact.
