Helmets are like super shields for our heads! π‘οΈ When we ride bikes, skateboards, or scooters, we might fall. A helmet keeps our head safe, just like a turtle's shell protects it! π’
Think of it as a cozy hat that hugs your head tightly so you can play without worrying about bumps. π
Helmets are safety gear designed to protect our brains! π§ When we move fast (like biking or skating), a fall could hurt our head. The hard outer shell spreads the impact, and the soft inside cushions it. π΄ββοΈ
Scientists say helmets reduce head injuries by up to 85%! Thatβs why athletes, builders, and astronauts all wear them too. π
Helmets are engineered to prevent traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). When you crash, the helmetβs materials (like polycarbonate or EPS foam) absorb and disperse kinetic energy, reducing skull fractures and concussions. π
Different activities require specialized helmets: bike helmets have vents for airflow, while climbing helmets protect against falling rocks. Always check for safety certifications like CPSC or ASTM! π
Fun fact: In some countries (like Australia), not wearing a bike helmet can result in a fine! π°
