Helmet idea: best for bathtubs?
OK, where do we get most of our preventable head injuries per event?
OK, maybe that's not the best way to put it. We probably get most head injuries from car wrecks, but not per event because people drive in the US so darn much. Yet helmets would prevent many of them probably. We probably get most head injuries in the bathtub---and putting on a helmet after shampooing would prevent most of them. Kids and adults alike, furthermore, probably get a huge number of head injuries from both walking and running (then tripping, etc.)---obviously, helmets would eliminate nearly all of those. But maybe the effectiveness idea should be brought in: that of head injury per outing or action. You'd want to pick activities that have a lot of injuries per outing to first try to repair I suppose. But of course there'd be no reason to downplay activities that simply result in lots of head injuries---especially if preventable. Probably bathing/walking/running head injuries are most preventable due to the low speeds involved. I wonder how things like biking and alpine skiing and whitewater paddling rank with such concerns. --JP |
