On the morning of October 31, chengdu municipal road safety committee, municipal party committee social governance committee, municipal civilization office, municipal public security bureau, municipal transportation bureau, municipal housing and construction bureau, municipal urban management committee, municipal market supervision bureau, municipal agriculture and rural bureau, municipal emergency bureau and other departments, in Qingyang District Qingbo community square jointly launched the theme activity of "riding electric two-wheelers and wearing safety helmets", public security police, community people, takeaway enterprise representatives and courier delivery workers attended the event.
The scene of the event
At present, with the continuous changes in travel modes and the growth of the emerging industry of express delivery, electric two-wheeled vehicles have become a means of transportation for some citizens to travel, but some drivers and passengers have a weak sense of safety and do not wear safety helmets, resulting in an irreparable tragedy.
According to the Chengdu Municipal Traffic Management Bureau, since the beginning of this year, 81% of the traffic accidents that have killed electric two-wheeler riders in Chengdu have been caused by head injuries. Studies have shown that wearing safety helmets correctly can reduce head injuries in the event of an accident and reduce the risk of traffic fatality by 60% to 70%.
At 11:00 a.m. on October 31, Red Star News reporters saw rows of helmets neatly arranged in the Qingbo Community Square in Qingyang District. In addition to the leaders at all levels, public security police, representatives of takeaway enterprises and courier delivery workers who participated in the activity, the scene also attracted many community people who came to watch.
Does the little helmet really have such a strong protective effect? At the event site, the safety helmet warning propaganda video told us the answer. In an accident involving a large truck and an electric two-wheeler, the owner of the car who did not wear a safety helmet could not move on the spot and was seriously injured. As soon as the picture turns, two electric vehicles collide, the party without a helmet falls to the ground, and the other party wearing a safety helmet is safe; the owner of the electric vehicle is rubbed by the wheels of a large truck, and because of the helmet, there is no obvious injury...
The warning video at the scene further shows the protective effect of the safety helmet, correctly wear the safety helmet, when the accident occurs, the helmet can absorb most of the impact energy, reducing the injury of the accident to the head.
The representative of the takeaway delivery staff spoke at the scene and expressed his determination to wear safety helmets correctly and pay attention to road traffic safety in the future in the delivery process. In addition, business representatives also put forward industry initiatives. Relevant leaders gave safety helmets to courier delivery workers and representatives of the community and sent safety manuals for riding electric two-wheelers.
At the same time, the relevant departments of various districts, cities and counties in Chengdu also jointly carried out the theme activity of "riding electric two-wheelers and wearing safety helmets" in various places, forming a publicity situation with wide coverage, strong voice power and strong participation.
Finally, what are the correct wearing criteria for safety helmets? The police gave four steps:
1. Measure the head circumference or try on the helmet to determine the size, choose a helmet that suits the size of your head; 2. Wear the helmet horizontally, not forward, backward, to ensure the protection of the head; 3. Tighten the regulator until the helmet does not shake and feel comfortable; 4. Do not "steal laziness", remember to tie the helmet belt or buckle to prevent the helmet from falling off.
