GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Keeping your kid safe is priority #1.

If they ride a bike, skateboard, roller blades/skates— or any other gadget that helps kids go, you know just how fast head injuries can happen.

And if you’ve ever had a head injury, or know someone who has, you know just how painful and devastating they can be.

Bicycle Safety Stats – Did You Know?

  • 90-100% of kids wear helmets when a parent also wears one.
  • Kids wearing poorly fitting helmets are twice as likely to get hurt.
  • An estimated 85% of bicycle-related brain injuries are preventable.
