Cycling is more than just a mode of transport or a fitness routine—it’s a lifestyle. But like any adventure on the road, it comes with its share of risks. Whether you’re commuting, trail riding, or enjoying a weekend ride, accidents can happen anytime. The good news? With the right helmet, you can significantly reduce the chances of serious injury.
In this blog, we’ll explore five common cycling accidents and how the AutoSport Shell Helmet helps protect you, making your ride safer and more confident every day.
1. The Sudden Brake Collision
Scenario: A car brakes unexpectedly or a pedestrian crosses without warning—you hit the brakes hard and get thrown off your bike.
What Happens: Your head hits the road or a vehicle, often resulting in skull injuries or concussions.
How AutoSport Helps:
The shock-absorbing EPS foam inside the AutoSport Shell Helmet cushions your head during impact.
Its ISI:4151 certification ensures that it meets government-approved safety standards for impact protection.
The adjustable fit keeps the helmet securely in place during sudden movements.
2. Skidding on Wet or Gravel Roads
Scenario: You lose balance while cycling over slippery terrain or loose gravel, causing a side fall.
What Happens: Your head and temple area are vulnerable as your body skids sideways.
How AutoSport Helps:
The ABS outer shell resists abrasions and minimizes damage from side impacts.
The helmet’s full head coverage design offers protection not just on top but also on the sides and back.
3. Hitting Potholes or Road Obstacles
Scenario: You don’t spot a pothole or road bump in time and your front tire gets caught—throwing you over the handlebars.
What Happens: Your head strikes the ground or another object at speed.
How AutoSport Helps:
AutoSport Shell Helmets are designed to handle high-impact falls, absorbing the shock so your skull doesn't have to.
The chin strap system ensures the helmet doesn’t come off mid-crash.
4. Rear-End Collisions
Scenario: While riding on the side of the road, a two-wheeler or car bumps into you from behind.
What Happens: You lose control and fall backwards, hitting the back of your head.
How AutoSport Helps:
The Shell Helmet features extra padding at the rear to minimize the damage in backward falls.
It also offers a low-profile yet protective shape to reduce jerking motion during sudden contact.
5. Unexpected Door Opening (The “Dooring” Accident)
Scenario: A parked car’s door swings open unexpectedly as you ride past, knocking you off your bike.
What Happens: You hit the door and possibly fall onto the road, risking head injuries.
How AutoSport Helps:
The lightweight design and multi-ventilation airflow keep you alert, helping you react faster.
In case of impact, its multi-layer protection reduces direct trauma.
