Mountain Bike Helmets

Mountain Bike Helmets – Today’s Bloodletting

Executive Summary about Mountain Bike Helmets By Sue Knaup

Today’s Mountain bike helmet promotions and laws hold an alarming resemblance to the pronouncements used by the bloodletters. Myths about helmets charm countries most where bicycling is not commonplace.

The most common bit of jargon of them all is that “cycle helmets prevent 85% of head injuries and 88% of brain injuries” when in fact, where helmet use is high, there has been no detectable reduction in head injuries.

Helmet rhetoric that sets bicycling out as far more dangerous than it is, is the greatest hindrance to programs for increasing bicycling. Mandatory helmet laws often follow the spread of Mountain bike helmet rhetoric, adding the weight of the law to the idea that bicycling is more dangerous than any other form of transportation.

Helmet laws also present another barrier to potential cyclists who already see many barriers to starting cycling. Mountain bike helmets can be a good choice for someone concerned about minor head injuries as long as they understand their helmet’s limitations for preventing major head injuries, not unlike choosing to wear knee pads and gloves.

However, some studies have shown that helmeted bicyclists take more risks than those not wearing a helmet (Pless IB, Magdalinos H, Hagel B. 2006). Let’s replace our helmets with thinking caps.

Mountain Bike Helmets – From Foam to Carbon Fiber

When I was young, I had some very strong objections to wearing my Mountain bike helmet. Despite my numerous complaints, my parents refused to let me ride my bicycle without my helmet. This surge in popularity led to the development of the first modern Mountain bike helmets. The shells of these bicycles helmets were of hard polycarbonate plastic.

This kind of helmet consisted of a very thin shell incorporated into the helmet during the molding process. Since the invention of in-mold microshell helmets, designers have continued to refine the shape and capabilities of Mountain bike helmets.

Early Mountain bike helmets had thick pads that cradled the head, but modern helmets can be adjusted to fit the cyclist’s head precisely, making such pads unnecessary. Additionally, some more advanced helmet models feature carbon fiber inserts that increase the helmet’s strength and protection capacity.
