Adult males in the 35-54 year age group were most likely to wear a correctly adjusted helmet. Using quasistatic helmet stability tests, it was found that the correctness of adjustment, rather than size, head dimensions, or shape, significantly affected helmet stability in all test directions. Conclusions: Bicycle helmets worn by recreational and commuter cyclists are often the wrong size and are often worn and adjusted incorrectly, especially in children and young people. Cyclists need to be encouraged to adjust their helmets correctly. Current headforms used in standards testing may not be representative of cyclists' head shapes. This may create challenges to helmet suppliers if on one hand they optimize the helmet to meet tests on ISO-related headforms while on the other seeking to offer greater range of sizes.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:47:01 AEST ]]> Factors affecting motorcycle helmet use: Size selection, stability, and position http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:7564 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:47:01 AEST ]]> Crash characteristics of helmeted pedal cyclists http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5477 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:07 AEST ]]> Associations between helmet use and brain injuries amongst injured pedal- and motor-cyclists: A case series analysis of trauma centre presentations http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5473 /= 2. Helmet use was coded. After stratification by rider type, data were analysed to examine the relationships between helmet use and injury using logistic regression. A total of 220 injured motorcycle riders and 137 injured pedal cyclists met the study's inclusion criteria, with 195 motorcycle riders and passengers (88.6%) and 87 pedal cyclists (63.5%) wearing helmets. Helmets were associated with a significant reduction (p<0.05) in the likelihood of head and intracranial injury in both rider groups. Associated with helmet use was a reduction in intracranial injury likelihood of 66% for both helmeted motorcycle riders and pedal cyclists. The study is further evidence of the benefits offered by helmets.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:06 AEST ]]> Crash characteristics of helmeted motorcyclists http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5476 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:06 AEST ]]>
