為什麼我們要戴全罩式的安全帽?(原文出處)

訪問了在Bowling Green(維吉妮亞的某地)有1200萬哩騎乘經驗的BMW騎士 戴夫史威雪
他戴著全罩帽在北維吉妮亞出了車禍,但他全身而退 戴夫史威雪 非常感謝全罩帽帶來的安全.
這樣我就不需要做臉部的重整的手術了!事實上,
because Dave was wearing full gear.(我猜這句應該是說他有穿全身的裝備)
讓我還可以安然地騎車回家.
那,我們只是戴著3/4的安全帽,或是更差的瓜皮帽,會怎麼樣!?


這張圖表上顯示著撞擊時的區域

(Source: Dietmar Otte, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, Abteilung Verkehrsunfallforschung, Germany.)
記錄著大部份的事故撞擊,有35%的機率是在下巴的部位!
這代表著你佩戴臉部開放型的安全帽的話,你的頭只有65%的保護性而已
如果你戴的是瓜皮帽之類的安全帽,你的頭只得到了39%的保護

另外,當然...你也有權利選擇沒有保護的新穎流行的安全帽

這決定在於你自己了!



原文如下
Ask 1.4 million-mile BMW rider Dave Swisher, of Bowling Green, Virginia. That's his helmet after he suffered a crash in West Virginia. Dave came out of it just fine—thanks to his full-face helmet. No facial reconstruction was needed. In fact, because Dave was wearing full gear, he was able to ride home!

What would have happened had he been wearing a three-quarter helmet or, worse yet, a “shorty?”

The diagrams above show the impact areas on crash-involved motorcycle helmets. (Source: Dietmar Otte, Hannover Medical University, Dept. of Traffic Accident Research, Germany.) Note that 35% of all crashes showed major impact on the chin-bar area. This means that if you ride with an open-face helmet, you are accepting only 65% of the protection that could be available to your head.

If you ride with a shorty or half helmet, you are accepting only 39% of the protection you could obtain. You are literally throwing away 61% of the protection you would have had had you chosen a full-face helmet.

And, of course, if you ride wearing a “novelty” helmet or no helmet at all then you have none of the protection you could have chosen.


The choice is yours.
