Pedal and motor cycle helmet performance study

骑自行车是一种娱乐和交通方式。骑脚踏车和骑摩托车的人都有头部和颈部受伤的风险。这些伤害发生在年轻人身上，可能对个人和社会产生重大的健康和经济影响。人们相信，通过提高头盔性能和了解导致不使用头盔的因素，可以降低伤害率，鼓励积极的生活方式。由于头盔的使用是强制性的，因此向澳大利亚人提供最佳头盔非常重要。产品标准的规范也与国际贸易协定有关。

Cycling is a form of recreation and transport. Both pedal and motor cyclists are exposed to risks of head and neck injury. These injuries occur in young people and can have substantial health and economic impacts on the individuals and society. It is believed that injury rates can be reduced and an active lifestyle encouraged by improving helmet performance and understanding factors that lead to non-use. As helmet use is mandatory it is important that Australians are provided with optimal helmets. The specification of product standards is also relevant for international trade agreements.
