Helmet Safety
Encouraging Helmet Use
Helmets provide the best protection against injury when riding a bike or scooter. Wearing a helmet can prevent about 85 percent of head injuries when there is a crash, but a helmet will only protect when it fits well. Through the Injury Prevention Center, we teach the importance of wearing a helmet and how to adjust it to fit properly. 
Child Passenger Safety
The UMass Memorial Medical Center - Child Passenger Safety Program educates parents and caregivers on the proper use of a car seat as well as the use of seatbelts and avoidance of driving distractions.
