From bicycle accidents and skateboarding mishaps to toy recalls and playground falls, there seems to be a never-ending list of things for parents to worry about. And though we can only do so much to protect our kids, some areas of the country are safer than others.

However, it’s been proven that helmets do reduce the risk of head injuries among people who participate in these winter sports. According to a study published today in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, the use of helmets reduces the risk of head injuries among skiers and snowboarders by 35%. This is a significant number because, statistics show that head injuries account for up to 19% and neck injuries up to 4% of all injuries reported by ski patrols and emergency departments. Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of death and serious injury among skiers and snowbo...

All the resulting media coverage centered on Edwards’ declarations. However, there is something much more remarkable that surfaced at that interview: Bob Woodruff’s spectacular recovery. This is the same reporter who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury when a roadside bomb detonated next to his vehicle in January 29th 2006 as he was covering news developments in Iraq. Today we are fortunate to interview Lee Woodruff, Bob’s wife and pillar throughout his recovery. Lee and Bob co-wrote the fantastic book In an Instant: A Family's Journey of Love and Healing. Alvaro Fernandez: Lee, many thanks for your time. I was amazed reading your book, where you ...

I talked to a few of the bike riders at Tech here's what they said. Guy 1 (with a full face helmet, had a NICE bike)- "I wear a helmet because I have a 2 year old at home, I want to see her grow up. I don't want my wife to have to raise her alone." (Biology/Chemistry dual major...guy must be a genius.)Guy 2 (full face helmet, it had a yellow Mohawk attached to it (badass!), rode a crotch rocket)- "Well, I wear the helmet for 2 reasons, one, I don't want my wife (WTF, seems like all college students are married these days!) to have to wipe the drool off my chin for the rest of my so called life, and two, it's freaking awesome, look at this thing!"

Helmeted riders have a 29 percent higher chance of surviving an accident, according to the study, and are 40 percent less likely to suffer a head injury.” “Current Texas law does not require motorcyclists to wear a helmet if they are at least 21 years old and have completed a motorcycle training course, or are at least 21 years old and have at least $10,000 in medical insurance.”To tired t...

Same hour. Same location. Same injuries. Broken arm. Open tib-fib. Road rash pretty much covering their bodies. Head injuries. They both hit their heads against the pavement, hard. The left side about 4 inches above the ear took the most impact. Patient 1 was DOS, no helmet. Patient 2 escaped with his life. He hit his head so hard it cracked his helmet. Helmets may mess up your hair, but they just might save your life. There are people out there that love you. Protect yourself, to protect them. At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some thing...
