Does anyone know what bicycle helmet would fit a large, wide head?

zerocool

I want it to look OK if possible.

Answer
Specialized makes a nice Large helmet. I have a large noggin' and it fits me great. Its adjustable so I can even use a wind-resistance hat under it.

its not the lightest or most expensive - but it protects and fits well

What's the best type of hat, and why?

ebmid2

I think it's the sombrero, since it does the best job of shading you from the sun.

Answer
A bicycle helmet can be a tremendously wonderful hat! What makes a good hat depends on what it's being used for.

How can you legally travel on a 50cc scooter with a toddler?

jeff_rulz_

It is legal in Missouri to drive without a license or helmet on a 50cc scooter and I would like to purchase one to cruise around town. However, I am concerned about how much I would use it. I would use it more frequently if I could legally carry my 3 year old with me. Just curious if it's legal and what I should get to protect him (other than a bicycle helmet).

Thanks!

Answer
A bicycle helmet will do NO good.
3 years simply isn't big enough.

I'm all for kids riding, my son sat behind me at 6. There are minimum requirements, even if not written into law (they are law elsewhere): Dedicated seat for passenger, dedicated footrest for passenger (which they must be able to use), handhold(s) for passenger. Helmet - and a styrofoam cooler is for beer, not pavement.
The passenger must be large enough (and understand enough) to be able to hold on. The helmet must fit properly - good luck finding a hat for the little melon.

I added an extra set of pegs for Jr. The law said he must reach, did not specify must be in original location.

Bike helmets are designed by the Industry to meet the specific demands of the sport. The modern bike helmets are designed to meet the high speed impact, and to be light and cool. A necessity in such an aerobic sport. Thus maximizing protection and comfort without hampering performance.

You can ride your bike with a motorcycle, full face helmet on .... it will exceed the safety requirements, but if you intend to try to ride with it beware of the weight and the lack of ventilation. The weight will make your neck sore and tired, and the heat will build up very quickly and can cause heat exhaustion.

In the BMX section of Bike shops they will probably have a full face helmet that may be more kindly for your needs. I can say that I have raced for several decades. Had many racing and street falls, broken / separated shoulder, wrist, and endo's shattering my helmet(s).... but never have I had an injury to my jaw.... in fact I have never seen an injury to the jaw.

Check out the BMX stuff but if they don;t have the ventilation, live with a good standard helmet!

My car doesn't have side impact airbags. Would driving with a bicycle or motorcycle helmet keep me safer?

I don't care how ridiculous I look - just curious if it would help my chances if I was in a car crash.
@ angel - I'm talking about wearing a helmet while driving a CAR. Good grief.

Answer
It is better to avoid the collision, then you don't have to worry about getting hurt. To avoid a collision you need to observe everything around you; which involves moving the head every few seconds as you scan to the sides for incoming traffic. ANY additional weight on the head impairs the ability to move it, slows that movement, and just ever so slightly increases your risk of a collision. I am such a driver. Anything that makes it more likely that I will be involved in a collision is a bad thing. I do take off my hat when I drive.

However -- if you are *not* an obsessed paranoid driver that is constantly moving your head as you drive, a helmet would not interfere with *your* driving, and you would be marginally safer with one.

How did you get initiated your freshman year?

bicycle helmets hats image

Melissa

I didn't get initiated..I was friends with upper class-man.

Answer
All the freshmen at my high school were given really horrible looking hats they had to wear everyday for a week at school. Each freshmen had a senior sister (I went to an all girls high school). Thank GOD my Senior sister was nice. She made me probably the best looking hat of all of them. One girl had to wear a bicycle helmet with burnt popcorn glued all over the top LOL!! IT WAS HILARIOUS. That helmet stunk though haha.

could someone please answer the following stat's question?

Mary

There has been debate about the effectiveness of bicycle helmets in preventing head
injuries to bicyclists involved in accidents. In a group of 22 accidents where the
bicyclist suffered injuries, of the sixteen who were wearing a helmet three suffered
head injuries whilst of the six who were not wearing a helmet two suffered head
injuries. Determine if there is a difference in the incidence in head injuries between
those bicyclists who do and do not wear a helmet.

Answer
Let P1 be the proportion of those wearing a helmet that suffered head injuries
Let P2 be the proportion of those not wearing a helmet that suffered head injuries

H0: P1 = P2
Ha : P1 â  P2

p1-hat = 3/16
p2-hat = 2/6

Sample 1 proportion x1/n1 = 0.1875
Sample 2 proportion x2/n2 = 0.3333
Pooled proportion pi= (3+2)/(16+6) = 0.2273

Variance of difference in proportions = pi*(1-pi)*(1/n1+1/n2)
= (0.227273)(0.772727)(1/16+1/6) =0.0402462

Standard error of (p1hat-p2hat) = 0.200615

z = (p1hat-p2hat) / sqrt[pi*(1-pi)*(1/n1+1/n2)]
z = -0.145833 / 0.200615 = -0.726933

P( |z| > 0.726933) = (0.2327)(2) = 0.4654
P-value = 0.4654

Assume the significance level is 0.05
Since P-value > significance level, we do not reject the null hypothesis.

There is no evidence of a difference between the two groups.
