Use your head - wear a helmet

摘要

In a recent survey, just 30% of farmers said they wore a helmet frequently, or always, while driving an ATV or quad bike, although 63.5% reported they owned a helmet.This is despite the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and others recommending farmers wear a helmet when riding the more than 6,000 ATVs estimated to be in use on UK farms.Amy Irwin of Aberdeen University conducted the study. She says: "The downside to this is ATVs are also linked to farming fatalities and injuries every year."
