Stay Safe these School Holidays

During the term break, we will be enjoying outdoor activities during the holidays, like biking, skateboarding, or riding scooters, safety should always be a top priority. One of the most important ways to protect yourself while on the road or trail is by wearing a helmet.

Helmets are designed to absorb impact, protect your head, and significantly reduce the risk of serious injury in case of an accident. Studies have shown that wearing a helmet can significantly reduce the risk of head injury.

It’s not just about protecting yourself—wearing a helmet sets a good example for others, especially younger riders. And it’s not just about style; it’s about saving lives.

So next time you’re heading out, remember to strap on your helmet. It’s a simple step that could make all the difference in ensuring you stay safe and enjoy your ride.
