The function of the bicycle helmet to protect the life of the cyclist is unquestionable. According to the American Highway Safety Insurance Research Report: 98% of bicycle deaths in the United States in 1999 did not wear a helmet, and those who wore a helmet in a crash reduced their risk of serious head injury by 85%. Plus, wearing a helmet not only looks cool, but it’s also really cool. At the same time, the ventilation holes on the helmet make the head feel cooler. As the old saying goes, it’s easier to win a race with a clear head.
The importance of helmets – the principle of helmets:
The principle of helmet protection for the head is that the person wearing the helmet can stop the head from being hit relatively slowly. If the person without a helmet hits the head on the ground, it tends to cause edema of the brain and cause bleeding. But aggregated balls in the helmet absorb the force of the impact, preventing these unfortunate events.
The importance of helmets – how to choose a helmet:
Choosing a helmet that suits you can make you more handsome. How is it suitable? The helmet edge of the helmet is placed between the eyebrows of your forehead, the helmet will not circle your head, it will not shake back and forth, left and right, and there will be no feeling of clamping, but it will protect your head easily and naturally. Naturally, the ventilation performance cannot be ignored. The more pores, the better the ventilation performance. But under the premise of ensuring safety, this is not a rule. Because some helmets have few ventilation holes, but the ventilation performance can be achieved in the same design.
Helmets are the first equipment to ensure human safety, so helmets from regular manufacturers will have corresponding standard certification marks, such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or Snell Foundation, and usually some international, national or regional authoritative certification agencies.
Choose a helmet that is lightweight, strong, and breathable. There are huge ventilation holes, the ventilation effect is naturally good, there is an alloy skeleton inside, the strength is reliable, and it is lined with COOLMAX, which is comfortable to wear. Some helmets also have insect nets on the front, which is a very considerate design.
Importance of helmets – standard parameters:
Texture: Helmets are generally made of foam materials (ordinary or high-density, the difference between the two is their anti-collision effect), and have a smooth shell surface.
Weight: The weight on the head should not be too heavy, which is why the cycling helmet is not made of alloy materials.
Lining: It is the part of the inner side of the helmet that is in contact with the head. It can improve wearing comfort in normal times and produce a cushioning effect when the head is hit. A well-crafted helmet has a liner with greater coverage, better texture, and a stronger bond to the inside of the helmet.
Breathability: The long-term airtightness of the head will adversely affect the scalp and make the rider feel uncomfortable. Therefore, a good helmet has a large number of holes, or a large hole area, which is to improve the breathability.
Wind resistance effect: The helmet wraps the human hair in the helmet, which reduces the wind resistance of the head itself. For riders who are keen to increase their speed, the impact of the helmet shape on the wind resistance is also worthy of attention.
