2007, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Helmets are protective against head injury and brain injury (Depreitere et al., 2004; Robinson, 2001; Schieber and Sacks, 2001; Povey et al., 1999; Thompson et al., 1996; Wasserman et al., 1988). Although helmets are effective for all bicyclists, regardless of age, helmets are not always properly used, e.g. worn in a poor position on the head, so helmet design can possibly be improved to reduce improper use (Curnow, 2003; Scuffham and Langley, 1997; Robinson, 2001; Ching et al., 1997). Helmet usage is related with other factors: for example, helmet usage rates were in one study found related with the time spent riding a bicycle each year (Rodgers, 2000), another study found those who wear helmets are more highly educated (Wasserman et al., 1988), and yet another study found helmet use in rural areas to be lower than in urban areas across all age groups and for both genders (Harlos et al., 1999).

2005, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :There is a plentiful literature examining population level effects of helmet wearing. Pre-legislative research from New Zealand (Scuffham and Langley, 1997) suggested a limited role for cycle helmets with regard to injury reduction, similar results have been observed in post-legislation analysis (Robinson, 1996, 2001; Scuffham et al., 2000). Indeed, Rivara et al. (1997) whilst arguing for the potential of cycle helmets to reduce head injury, found little evidence that helmets could reduce the overall injury levels.
