04 August 2011
In July 2010 James Cracknell was seriously injured in a cycling accident in America. Fortunately, the Olympic gold medallist was wearing a helmet which saved his life.
The Brain Injury Association, Headway has reported that James Cracknell has made a short film to encourage cyclists to wear cycle helmets.
According to statistics released by the Department of Transport, in 2010, 111 cyclists were killed on British roads, an increase of 7% from 2009. Headway has called for the Government to take immediate action to promote the use of helmets.
