The requirement to wear bicycle helmets in the United States varies by jurisdiction and by age of the cyclist, for example 21 states and the District of Columbia have statewide mandatory helmet laws for children. 29 US states have no statewide law, and 13 of these states have no such laws in any lower-level jurisdiction either.〔Helmet Laws for Bicycle Riders Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute Jan 5, 2011. http://www.bhsi.org/mandator.htm〕 ==Importance== States began to adopt laws on wearing helmets for bicycle riding in 1987.〔http://www.helmets.org/mandator.htm〕 There are a total of 22 state laws for bicycle helmets and 201 local laws.〔http://www.helmets.org/mandator.htm〕 The intent of a bicycle helmet is to prevent head injuries during bicycle accidents. Each year about 2% of motor vehicle crash deaths are bicyclists. In a majority of bicyclist deaths, the most serious injuries are to the head, highlighting the importance of wearing a bicycle helmet.〔(“Pedestrians and Bicyclists: Fatality Facts” )〕 Helmet use has been estimated to reduce the odds of head injury by 50%, and the odds of head, face, or neck injury by 33%.〔(“Pedestrians and Bicyclists: Fatality Facts” )〕
