THE TOP 16 REASONS PEOPLE GIVE
FOR  NOT  WEARING HELMETS
不戴头盔的16个理由
翻译：佚名
1.      “I have a hard head.”我的头很硬
If you fall over while SITTING STILL on an UNMOVING bicycle and strike your head on the ground, your head “travels” FASTER than the 7 miles an hour it takes to fracture your skull and KILL you! 当你静坐在静止的自行车上, 你摔倒在地时, 你的头部是以每小时7英里的速度着地, 足可以导致你的头骨破裂而死亡.                                   

2.      “I ONLY ride on dirt and grass and go slowly.” 我仅仅是在土路或者草地慢行而已.
So what? See Reason #1. You CAN’T go slower than STOPPED!那又证明什么呢? 借鉴一下第一条, 难道你的速度比停下来更慢!              

3.      (Adults) “I never wore one as a child.”(成年人) “ 我从来不会打扮成象孩子一样”
Of course not! Nobody did before helmets first went on sale in the mid-1970’s!当然不是, 在1970年中期头盔第一次市场发售时没有人去买来戴。

4.      “I’ve lived this long without wearing a helmet.”我没有戴头盔, 但我一直活着很好.
Using that logic, very old people sould argue that despite having never received the vaccines we give children today, they’re still alive. Therefore, we should stop inoculating children! 根据这种逻辑说法, 前人的精力争论是尽管直到今天我们还没有给孩子接种疫苗, 但他们仍然活着, 所以, 我们应该停止给孩子们接种疫苗.

5.      “Helmets look stupid.” 戴上头盔给人的感觉是傻傻的
PEOPLE WITH SERIOUS, PREVENTABLE HEAD INJURIES LOOK “STUPID!” 有安全意识的人是可以阻止自己的头部受到伤害的难看样子.

6.      (Teenagers) “I’m not going to die.”(青少年) “ 我才不会死”Probably not in a bicycle accident! In the entire U. S., we average only 2 - 3 bicycle-related deaths per day, but there ARE between 200 and 300 permanent brain injuries per day. THAT’S the risk! Nearly 90% of all head injuries resulting in permanent brain damage or death could be prevented by helmet use. The largest, most expensive risk is crippling injury…NOT death! 在全美国, 或许不仅是自行车造成意外事故.平均每天2-3 起是有关自行车死亡事故发生, 但是每天发生200-300例脑部永久性伤亡事故，这是很大的风险系数，可以说头盔的使用可以预防，接近90％的比例头部受伤导致大脑永久性损害或者死亡。最大限度的， 最昂贵的事故是极限的受伤，而不是死亡。

7.      “My friends (or parents!) don’t wear them.” 我的朋友们（或者父母亲）不戴头盔If your friend went and jumped off a bridge…would you?!如果你的朋友从桥上跳下去， 你将会？

8.      “Helmets are heavy.” 头盔太重Most weigh between 9 and 16 ounces, that’s a pound or less! NOTE: CHEAPER helmets often ARE heavier.大多数的头盔的重量在9-16盎司之间，这只是磅的单位甚至更轻！注意：廉价的头盔大多数都很重。

9.      “Helmets are hot!” 戴头盔太热They can be when you’re not riding. Air ventilation and cooling systems work best while you’re riding. Also, CHEAPER helmets with fewer “air holes” ARE HOTTER. In hot weather, wear a sweat band around your head to keep sweat out of your eyes. In cold weather, wear ear warmers or thin cloth hoods (called balaklavas) under your helmet for warmth. 当你没有骑行的时候， 戴头盔感觉太热。当你骑行的时候头盔的空气通风和冷却系统得到了最好的利用， 而且， 便宜的头盔只有很少几个通风气口所以会热。在炎热的天气里， 戴一个“止汗带”在你的头上， 防止汗水流到眼睛里。在寒冷的季节里，要戴“护耳套”或者戴有弹性的薄的头巾（名字叫balaklavas）在里面保暖。

10.  “Helmets are uncomfortable.”戴头盔不舒服Cheaper ones ARE OFTEN less comfortable. They’re sold where NO ONE knows how to correctly fit or adjust them which makes all the difference in helmet comfort. 便宜的头盔一般都不舒服。他们没有一个人知道怎么样是正确合适的，或者调节头盔所有不同的地方使得头盔更加合适。

11.   “I can’t keep the darned thing adjusted!”不能忍受不能调节尺寸的头盔 Bike shops are experts at proper helmet sizing and adjustment, and are happy to correctly adjust or re-adjust your helmet for you.

自行车店的头盔是特有的尺寸的头盔及可调节的， 而且愿意帮你调节或者从新调节头盔的尺寸。

12.  “Helmets are expensive.” 头盔很贵The average head trauma, ambulance ride, emergency room visit, x-rays, doctor’s bills, etc., IF THERE’S NO SERIOUS INJURY will easily cost a thousand dollars! That’s almost 50 TIMES the cost of a helmet! 一般的头损伤，救护车， 急诊室， 医生费用，等等， 如果不是很严重的损伤那就不会花掉上千元的费用， 相当于50倍的一个头盔的价格。

13.  “Helmets are ugly. 头盔很难看Helmet styling and appearance are important, especially to kids. They’re more likely to wear their helmet if they “like how it looks.” 头盔的款式和外观很重要， 特别是对于孩子。他们更喜欢戴上头盔看上去更漂亮。

14.  “Helmets make me look like a mushroom-head!” 头盔使我看是去象个蘑菇头。Helmets come in many different shapes Some have plastic visors on the front to shield eyes from sun or rain. Visors create the “optical illusion” of narrowing the helmet, reducing what some call the “mushroom head” look.头盔有不同种的类型，有些头盔的前方带有塑料帽舌是为了保护眼镜免遭太阳的暴晒和雨天的雨水。塑料帽舌给人的错觉是使得头盔看上去变的狭窄，减少了有人所说的看上去象蘑菇头的说法。

15.  “Helmets mess-up my hair.”头盔农乱了我的头发Yes, but not as badly as a head injury! Carry a comb!没错，不会象损害头部那样糟， 带一个梳子就成了。

16.  “How can helmets protect you? They BREAK if you fall!”头盔是怎样保护你的？如果你摔倒，头盔会破裂， 而不是你。Helmets are MADE to break.  That's what they're SUPPOSED to do!  Helmets are made of a material that absorbs a blow and will fracture, crush, or break when the head hits something. THAT’S HOW THEY PROTECT THE BRAIN (…and why they’re called “brain buckets”!). Helmets are designed to withstand ONE FALL! Replace a helmet after ANY head impact. It did its job! 头盔的目的就是破裂， 这就是头盔应该的作用。头盔所用的材质就是一种遭到突然的撞击就破碎， 当头部撞击到什么东西时， 头盔就会粉碎，或者破裂。这就是头盔保护头部的作用。（也就是为什么头盔被称呼为“头桶子）头盔的设计是至少经受住一次的撞击！在任何一次的碰撞后，要换掉旧的头盔，这就是头盔的作用。

很好！！！我喜欢！

所以我要买头盔

头盔？？？我怎么都觉得戴着不舒服！

10.  “Helmets are uncomfortable.”戴头盔不舒服Cheaper ones ARE OFTEN less comfortable. They’re sold where NO ONE knows how to correctly fit or adjust them which makes all the difference in helmet comfort. 便宜的头盔一般都不舒服。他们没有一个人知道怎么样是正确合适的，或者调节头盔所有不同的地方使得头盔更加合适。

没有什么比安全更重要了，头盔非常重要，请大家每次骑车都佩戴。

有的车友可能会觉得不习惯，特别是在街上有人看见你戴头盔，会向你投来异样的眼光，但是这跟安全相比又算得了什么？

安全第一！
