New Massachusetts Law: Wearing a Bicycle Helmet is MANDATORY for Children up to age 16 years old.
Traumatic brain injuries are a major public health concern. Each year in the United States, 40,000 children are treated in emergency rooms for head injuries sustained while riding their bikes. Studies indicate that wearing a bicycle helmet could reduce the risk of serious head and brain injury by 90%.
A new Massachusetts Law boosts the mandatory age for wearing a bike helmet from 12 to 16 years of age. It also expands the types of recreational vehicles that require child helmet use to include skateboards, in-line skates, razor scooters or other manually propelled wheeled vehicles. Approximately 50 % of skating-related injuries happen to those not wearing helmets or other protective gear such as knee pads, elbow pads
The Norwood Health Department continues to sell bicycle helmets at a reduced cost of $5.00. Protective gear is also now available for $5.00. The set includes knee, elbow, and wrist pads. Residents of Norwood may purchase these helmets and protective gear at the Town Hall in the Health Department weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
