Bike Helmets are now REQUIRED
for those under 16
and recommended for ALL!
RSA 265:144 is amended beginning January 1, 2006
Why? Bicycle crashes are a major cause of brain injuries. Helmets prevent 85% of these injuries and 75% of the deaths. Helmets should be buckled and worn properly to protect your brain.
Why? Brain injuries cause life-long problems and huge medical costs. Life will never be the same!
Why? Safe helmets can cost less than $10. Look for a sticker from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to be sure that it meets safety standards.
Helmets prevent BRAIN injuries!
This law is for kids riding bicycles on public ways.
Helmets protect ALL heads. ANYONE riding a bike, skateboard, scooter or
skates anywhere should wear a helmet.
