Evidence For Effectiveness
Recent studies conclude that helmet use decreases the risk and severity of head injuries without increasing the risk of other injuries. One meta-analysis of twelve studies found that those wearing a helmet were about two-thirds as likely to suffer a head injury as were those not wearing a helmet, strongly suggesting that helmets reduce the risk of head injury among skiers and snowboarders. There was no increase of neck injuries among wearers.

Famous quotes containing the word evidence:
“You don’t decide to build a church because you have money in the bank. You build because God says this is what I should do. Faith is the supplier of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.”
—Jim Bakker (b. 1940)
