Safety
Nutcase Helmets is all about making helmets fun and safe.
Whether you are skiing, skating, riding or paddling, Nutcase Helmets takes pride in creating a helmet for every personality!
WE LOVE YOUR BRAIN
Engaging in cycling, skating, snow sports and many other outdoor activities is a fun way to get the most out of life.
In many countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, it is the law to wear a helmet for certain activities such as bicycle riding. In other countries people choose to protect their brains with a helmet.
The Westmead Childrens Hospital states that the most common causes of brain injury in Australia are:
• Motor vehicle and bike accidents
• Falls
• Sporting injuries
A brain injury can mean anything from a skull fracture to bruising of the brain, trauma, paralysis, coma or death.
Children should not ride in bike seats or trailers until they can support themselves and the weight of a helmet. Teach your children about bike, board, water and helmet safety as soon as possible.
Around the world our helmets are developed and tested to meet standards required in various countries.
