Characteristics of bicycle crashes among children and the effect of bicycle helmets.

Conclusions: This study indicated that bicycle helmets effectively reduce injuries to the head and face. The results thus point to the need for actions aimed at increasing helmet use, especially among teenagers. Protective measures are necessary to further reduce injuries, especially to the upper extremities. PMID: 31834816 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
