Do I have the right bicycle helmet and how can I tell if it's any good? A bike helmet researcher explains

Retrieved on: 
Monday, August 7, 2023

A major Australian review of 40 different studies and 64,000 injured cyclists worldwide showed wearing a bicycle helmet reduces the risk of serious head injury by nearly 70%.

Key Points: 
  • A major Australian review of 40 different studies and 64,000 injured cyclists worldwide showed wearing a bicycle helmet reduces the risk of serious head injury by nearly 70%.
  • I’m a head injury biomechanics researcher who has researched on bicycle helmet designs.

    • A typical bicycle helmet consists of a plastic shell, foam-like liner and the straps that keep it on your head.
    • This is a very robust safety regulation, and means the helmet has to be tested for:
    • So check your helmet to see if it says “AS/NZS 2063” on it somewhere (usually on a sticker inside it).
    • This can cause the brain to rotate inside the skull, leading to severe and irreversible brain damage.

Bike helmet technology is always changing

    • This design allows the helmet shell to rotate around the inner liner, so the helmet absorbs some of the angular forces that would otherwise be transmitted to your head.
    • Another fancy helmet technology is called an “omni-directional suspension system” (ODS), which has double liner layers connected by special rubbery materials.
    • We’re also working on a helmet design featuring an inflatable airbag in a traditional bike helmet.

How to pick a helmet

    • When choosing a helmet in the shop, pick one that fits comfortably yet firmly on your head and can’t be tilted for more than an inch in any direction.
    • Ensure the helmet complies with the national or international bicycle helmet standards, which should be stated on the label inside the helmet.
    • Pick a helmet with a thicker liner, as long as it’s still comfortable enough to wear properly when riding.

Should you replace your helmet every few years anyway?


    The US Consumer Product Safety Commission says it might be prudent replace your bike helmet between five and ten years after you bought it. But an Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) spokesperson told The Conversation the lifespan of a bicycle helmet is not set by time alone; it depends on its use pattern. The ACCC suggests a bicycle helmet should be replaced if:
