Herb Weisbaum: All Helmets Not Created Equal

April 11, 2006

By Herb Weisbaum


Audio : KOMO 1000 NEWS
Make sure you have the right helmet for the right sport, as some helmets are designed specifically for injuries common with that activity.


SEATTLE - Most people around here wear a helmet when they ride their bike. And that's good because helmets protect your head, they prevent brain damage, and they save lives.

But helmets aren't just for bikers. You should wear one when you strap on your skates or jump on a skateboard.

"All helmets are not created equal," notes Patty Davis with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. "There are different helmets for different sports."




Davis says each type of helmet is designed to protect you from the impacts common to that sport or activity. For instance, a skateboard helmet gives more protection to the back of your head. It's also designed to take multiple impacts.

Davis adds whatever type of helmet you have, make sure you wear it properly.

"The helmet should be comfortable, it should be snug, you want it level on the top of your head, not tilted back or pulled too low over your forehead," she says. "It's important that it fit right to help it stay on and protect you the way it should."
