Brain injury prevention

Brain injury is usually caused by a sudden jolt to the head which makes the brain hit the sides of the skull. This most commonly occurs during the impact of a car crash or in a violent attack. Brain injuries can be fatal, cause individuals to comatose or just cause a mild concussion.

Every year in the United States around 1.5 million people sustain brain injuries and more US children die from brain injury than any other personal injury or illness. It is important that we make sure that these figures do not become so extreme in the UK and take preventative action against brain injuries.

It is essential that people always wear seatbelts in passenger vehicles where available to avoid hitting their head in case of a road accident. Those travelling by motorcycle or bicycle should wear helmets to protect their heads. Also, those that play sports where it is easy to be hit by a heavy ball, such as rugby or cricket, should consider wearing protective head gear.
