  1. How Pedestrians and Bicyclists Can Avoid Personal Injuries?

  2. Walking or riding a bike is a great way to exercise and save money on your commute. However, the majority of pedestrians and bicyclists are walking or riding near major roads, where traffic is an imminent concern.

  3. Injuries and Deaths of Child Pedestrians and Bicyclists While the majority of pedestrians who are treated at the ER for injuries related to traffic are between the ages of 15 and 29 (and are primarily males), children are at the greatest risk of serious injury and death when such accidents occur. Twenty percent of all traffic deaths of children under the age of 15 involve situations where the children were pedestrians.

  4. Risk Factors for Accidental Deaths Involving Adults and Children on Bicycles The most commonly seen risk factors involving accidental deaths for both adults and children who are riding bicycles include failing to wear a helmet, riding in unsafe environments, collisions with motor vehicles, and being male. More males than females are seriously injured or die from their injuries on bicycles, which is a risk factor you can’t control.

  5. How Pedestrians Can Reduce Risks of Injury and Death As a pedestrian, you can also reduce your risk of becoming injured or losing your life to an accident. You can do this by carefully observing your surroundings, avoiding distractions (like electronics), using crosswalks and intersections when crossing the street.
