Compulsory Helmet Use Reduces MVA and Its Death in School Children.

Abstract: Compulsory Helmet Use Reduces MVA and Its Death in School Children Yoshiyuki Minowa1,2, Akiyoshi Kasii2 and Sachima Inoue3 Objective: We studied th effect of helmet use by school children on the prevention of head injuries due to motor vehicle accidents (MVA) in Omiya, a city of 440,000 located 20km north to Tokyo, Japan. Method: School reports were collected retrospectively for MVA among 200,000 students at 36 schools in Omiya city from 1989 to 1995. All schools were less than 1km from major intercity routes … Show more

“…The head is the most vulnerable part of the human body and thus the most critical to protect. Several studies have proposed methods to effectively protect cyclists against traumatic head injuries using bicycle helmets (Bambach et al, 2013, Elvik, 2011, Fahlstedt et al, 2016, McNally and Whitehead, 2013, Minowa et al, 2000. Some analytical methods have been applied to study the effectiveness of helmets.…”

“…One of countermeasures for cyclist head injuries is a bicycle helmet (Bambach et al, 2013;Elvik, 2011;Fahlstedt et al, 2016;Ito et al, 2015;McNally and Whitehead, 2013;Matsui and Oikawa, 2015a;Minowa et al, 2000). The study by Fahistedt et al (2016) determined the protective effect of a bicycle helmet by quantifying the risk of brain injuries in single bicycle accident reconstructions with finite element (FE) simulations.…”
