A
Bicycle-related injuries are a major cause of death and disability among children. Proper fit of the helmet helps to decrease head injuries resulting from bicycle accidents. Goggles, shin guards, and sliding shorts are important sports safety equipment and should fit properly, but they do not protect from this leading cause of death.
