Biking without helmets


Biking has nowadays become a craze among young people. The stunts shown in the advertisements add to the increasing interest of young people in biking. The recent pulsar advertisement with men showing the various stunts can pull up even a dumb man to biking comes with the disclaimer which has less reach.The main part is that the young ones who are trying to imitate that stunt either are not professionals or they are not properly secured to perform the stunt. The kids try the stunts without helmets and this results in accidents that can sometimes be fatal. The helmets play the major role where they protect you from fatal accidents. The awareness about importance of helmets has been spread to the public by the state governments sighting the increase in death rate due to bike accidents and that too without helmets. Some small display boards along the side of the roads contain pictures instructing people to wear helmets.The people on their part must understand that the helmets are for their safety and not a source of burden or an unnecessary thing.
