Correct answer
considerably reduces the probability of suffering head injuries.
A suitable, properly fastened helmet helps reduce the risk of serious head injury but does not eliminate every injury or replace safe riding. No single protection percentage applies to every crash. Under current article 118, under-16s must wear one on all roads, and cycle riders and occupants must wear one on interurban roads. Professional cycle riders must also wear one on urban roads and urban through-roads. This does not mean every non-professional adult cyclist must wear one on every urban road.
