In "Fitting Your Bike Helmet," which textual evidence supports the importance of wearing a helmet?

A properly fitted helmet should not rock back and forth.
    Adults should be positive role models for kids by wearing bike helmets.
   The chin strap should be snug.
    More children go to the hospital for bike accidents, many of which are head injuries, than for accidents related to any other sport.

In "Fitting Your Bike Helmet", the textual evidence that supports the importance of wearing a helmet is "More children ages 5-14 go to emergency rooms for bicycle-related injuries than with any other sport; many are head injuries." In "Fitting Your Bike Helmet" the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, tells bicycle riders to buy a helmet, fit it, and wear it every ride. There is a complete description of the steps to take when buying a helmet that fits well. Instructions are clear and very easy to understand.
