Dear Members,
I am curious to know how you would feel about adults and/or children wearing a lightweight helmet to reduce head injuries and deaths? I did several Google searches with various key words and found one study from Australia at the link below. By extrapolating the data to US statistics, it suggests that thousands of lives could be saved in the US every year, and many more injuries minimized with the use of helmets or special protective headbands.
I am interested in developing a special lightweight helmet (like a bike helmet only not as thick) that could be worn by children and adults to save lives and reduce injuries, but first I would like to know what people think about the idea, and if they would be willing to wear one, or put one on their kids in the car, if US research confirmed that it would save lives?

Thank you in advance for your reply.
