Helmet safety activity – egg drop
Use this activity to demonstrate how helmets can protect something fragile – like an egg. This demonstration should be tied to education about proper helmet fitting on human heads.
Helmet safety activity – melon drop
Use this activity to demonstrate the effects on a melon dropped at high velocity with and without a helmet. Draw parallels between the melon and the human head and have kids imagine the drop being equivalent to a bicycle crash at moderate speed.
