Bike Helmets Help Prevent Serious Head Injuries; Kansas City Parents Urged to Educate Kids

This is crazy and somewhat unbelievable but it happened very close to Kansas City in Urbandale, Iowa-- and might just be proof positive that it is best to be wearing a helmet than to not be wearing one.

A 4 year-old boy was playing in a driveway when a parked truck began to roll and actually ROLLED OVER the little boy's head. Amazingly the boy not only survived, but was relatively free of injury. He was wearing a bicycle helmet at the time of the accident. The helmet was shattered into several pieces, one of which was lodged in the boy's head. But it protected him from serious if not fatal injury and that is the lesson here.
