The Athlete Recovery Fund (ARF) today released a video that exposed the added risks associated with BMX athletes and riders using non-certified helmets vs. certified helmets for BMX riding. The ARF has noticed a trend of head injuries, particularly in the sport of BMX where an uncertified helmet or no helmet at all was used – a common rider trend. The ARF, along with athletes, helmet manufacturers and action sports event promoters are taking a stand and this recent video provides an insider’s look at the reality of certified vs. non-certified helmets.
