Lids at the Library - Kent District

Lids at the Library: Monday, July 13 from Noon-1 p.m. - Kent District Library - Plainfield Township Branch (2650 5 Mile Rd. NE)
The Griffins’ “Put A Lid On It!” program and the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital Injury Prevention Program will give away and properly fit 100 free bike helmets for kids ages 1-12 at each event (subject to availability). A parent or guardian must be present to receive a helmet. For more information, call 616-391-SAFE.
Just the Facts
- A helmet protects you by absorbing and distributing the impact of a crash before it reaches your brain and reduces the risk of brain injury by 88%.
- Use of bicycle helmets would prevent one death every day and one brain injury every four minutes.
- Falls can happen anywhere. A fall from two feet can cause a brain injury affecting your ability to see, think, walk or talk.
- Brain injury is the leading cause of disability and death in bicycle accidents.
- Bicycle-related deaths are highest in children ages 10-14.
- Brain injury is the most serious injury to inline skaters who do not wear protective gear.
