Question 2006

Helmet use by cyclists…

  1. Completely eliminates the likelihood of head injuries.
  2. Has no influence on the injuries cyclists may suffer.
  3. Reduces the likelihood of head injuries by a factor of up to three.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Reduces the likelihood of head injuries by a factor of up to three.

A helmet protects the cyclist's head and, if the cyclist is struck by a vehicle, can reduce the likelihood of injuries to that area by up to a factor of three. It does not completely eliminate the risk.
