Bike riders ages 0 to 20 have a 72% helmet-wearing rate, with younger riders and girls wearing helmets more often.
The table shows the results of a recent study that observed the number of bike riders ages 0 to 20 that wear helmets. The data is broken down by age group, and shows the number of riders who wear helmets and the number of riders who do not wear helmets.
Based on the data in the table, we can make the following observations:
The overall helmet-wearing rate for bike riders ages 0 to 20 is 72%. This means that 72% of all bike riders in this age group were observed wearing helmets.
The helmet-wearing rate is highest for the youngest age group (0-5 years old), at 84%. This suggests that parents are generally good at making sure their young children wear helmets when riding bikes.
The helmet-wearing rate decreases with age, and is lowest for the oldest age group (15-20 years old), at 20%. This suggests that teenagers are less likely to wear helmets than younger children.
There are a number of possible explanations for the decrease in helmet-wearing rate with age. One possibility is that teenagers are simply more risk-taking than younger children. Another possibility is that teenagers may feel that wearing a helmet is uncool. Additionally, some teenagers may not have access to helmets, or may not be aware of the importance of wearing them.
The data in the table also shows that there is a difference in helmet-wearing rates between boys and girls. For all age groups, the helmet-wearing rate is lower for boys than for girls. For example, in the 6-10 year old age group, 71% of girls wear helmets, compared to 59% of boys.
There are a number of possible explanations for the gender difference in helmet-wearing rates. One possibility is that parents are more likely to make sure their daughters wear helmets than their sons. Another possibility is that girls are simply more likely to wear helmets than boys. This may be due to the fact that girls are more likely to be encouraged to participate in activities that are considered to be safe, such as bike riding.
Overall, the data in the table shows that the helmet-wearing rate for bike riders ages 0 to 20 is relatively high, but there is room for improvement. The data also suggests that there is a difference in helmet-wearing rates between boys and girls, and between different age groups.
Additional observations:
The helmet-wearing rate is higher for younger riders than for older riders. This is likely due to the fact that parents are more likely to make sure their young children wear helmets.
The helmet-wearing rate is higher for girls than for boys. This may be due to the fact that girls are more likely to be encouraged to participate in activities that are considered to be safe, such as bike riding.
The lowest helmet-wearing rate is for the 15-20 year old age group. This is likely due to the fact that teenagers are more risk-taking than younger children, and may also feel that wearing a helmet is uncool.
The data in the table shows that the helmet-wearing rate for bike riders ages 0 to 20 is relatively high, but there is room for improvement. The data also suggests that there is a difference in helmet-wearing rates between boys and girls, and between different age groups. It is important to continue to promote helmet-wearing safety, especially among teenagers.
