2023, Transportation Research Interdisciplinary PerspectivesHelmet Usage Reduces Serious Head Injury Without Decreasing Concussion After Bicycle Riders Crash
2021, Journal of Surgical ResearchCitation Excerpt :Other studies have shown a reduction in head injuries6,9,10 though most of these studies do not differentiate between minor and major head injuries. Some studies have shown no difference in head injury5,6 when concussion was included as a head injury, although in the former study,5 the helmeted patients were less likely to have a skull fracture although more likely to have a concussion. Overall the proportion of riders with head injuries was 68% versus 61% (P = NS) in helmeted versus nonhelmeted riders, respectively, with serious head injuries less common in helmeted riders.

2018, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :Additional safety measures are focused on the physical separation of cyclists from traffic (Bíl et al., 2010; Kaplan and Prato, 2015), marking separated cycling lines (e.g., Hamann and Peek-Asa, 2013) or calming of traffic when sharing the same place with cars (Chen and Shen, 2016). Numerous studies and meta-studies have investigated the contribution of helmets to the prospects of cyclists after crashes (e.g., Uibel et al., 2012; Bambach et al., 2013, Gomei et al., 2013; Dinh et al., 2015), either focusing on specific head injuries (Finvers et al., 1996, Jacobson et al., 1998; Attewell et al., 2001; Gomei et al., 2013), or including intracranial ones (Wasserman and Buccini, 1990; Shafi et al., 1998). Whereas some studies have been based on statistical data analyses (where helmet use ranked among the parameters), other studies involved theoretical conducting simulations (e.g., McNally and Whitehead, 2013) or were based on laboratory testing (e. g., Mills and Gilchrist, 2008; Pang et al., 2009; Mattei et al., 2012; Cripton et al., 2014).
