Subject: FW: Kids' Marathon - Bicycle Hemets

The 2012 Kids’ Marathon is April 19th from 5:30 – 7:00pm at the San Angelo Stadium. See attached fliers for info.

Bicycle helmets are left over from the bicycle rodeo last fall. They are going to size and distribute at this event.
(Sizing helmets is not difficult, we just want to make sure we send kids away with an appropriate sized helmet.)

I’m looking for volunteers to size and provide the helmets.
The more the better; if there are more volunteers than needed,
we can cheer the kids on as they finish.
Please let me know if you can help out or have questions.
Feel free to forward this on to anyone you think may be interested in volunteering.

Here are a few stats about head injuries from bicycles (www.bhsi.org/stats.htm<http://www.bhsi.org/stats.htm>):
Bicycle injuries and deaths affect children and young people more often than any other age group.
·         In 2005, 44 percent of nonfatal bicycle injuries occurred in children and youth age 5 to 20.
·         In 2005, the rate per million of nonfatal bicycle injuries in children and youth age 5 to 20 was 462.17 compared to 153.3 overall.
·         In 2005, children and youth age 0 to 20 made up 23.4 percent of bicycle fatalities.
·         In 2005, the rate per million of bicycle fatalities in children and youth age 5 to 20 was 4.37 compared to 2.64 overall.
·         In 2005, children under 15 accounted for 53 percent of bicycle injuries treated in emergency departments.
·         From 1999 to 2002, the average annual cost of bicycle fatalities in children and youth age 0 to 19 was $1.03 billion.
·         From 1999 to 2002, the average annual cost of nonfatal bicycle injuries in children and youth age 0 to 19 was $3.6 billion.
Young cyclists are more likely than adult cyclists to die of head injuries, most of which are caused by motor vehicle collisions. Among children and youth age 0 to 19 in 2000:
·         Head injuries accounted for 62.6 percent of bicycle fatalities.
·         Collisions with motor vehicles accounted for 75.7 percent of bicycle fatalities.
·         61.7 percent of motor vehicle collision deaths were due to head injury.

Thanks,
Matt
