Each year in the United States, above 500,000 people are hospitalized and over 700 die as a result of bike injuries. 90% of deaths from bike injuries were caused by car crashes. These collisions cause less than 25% of non-fatal injuries which means 75% of bikers who collided with a car died.Children face a very high risk toward bike-related injuries. Lot of kids do not use proper riding habits which includes wearing a helmet. In 2001 children 15 years and younger composed 59% of all bike injuries. At least 125 children die each year from bike-related brain injuries.
