女子骑电动车没戴头盔被罚，听劝回家戴上；46分钟后遇车祸捡回一命，家属：感谢交警

据江西广播电视台都市现场报道，10月28日清晨6点7分，江西南昌交警东湖大队九中队民警雷世荣在巡逻时，拦下一名骑行电动自行车、没戴头盔的女子袁某。

雷世荣依法处罚袁某，并反复叮嘱她：“赶紧回家把头盔戴上，系紧卡扣！”

袁某照做了。她回家取了头盔，戴好，再次出门。

A traffic stop in Nanchang, Jiangxi province, may have helped save an electric bicycle rider from serious head injuries after she followed a police officer's advice to wear a helmet just 46 minutes before a collision with a truck.

At 6:07 am on Oct 28, traffic police officer Lei Shirong stopped a woman surnamed Yuan for riding an electric bicycle without a helmet. After issuing a penalty, he repeatedly urged her to go home, put on a helmet and fasten its chin strap. Yuan followed his advice before setting off again.

6点53分，也就是被处罚仅仅46分钟后，在扬新路隆兴大桥下，袁某骑行电动自行车与一辆半挂货车发生严重碰撞。

事故现场，袁某的头盔摔裂了，120急救人员小心翼翼地将碎裂的头盔从她头上摘下来。后经医院检查，她的头部没有受伤。

At 6:53 am, just 46 minutes after the traffic stop, she collided with a semi-trailer truck near Longxing Bridge on Yangxin Road. Her helmet cracked in the impact. Paramedics carefully removed the damaged helmet, and a subsequent hospital examination found that she had sustained no head injuries.

10月30日，袁某的儿子后怕地说：“真的是这顶头盔保了我妈妈一条命！虽然她被罚了款，但我真心要感谢交警。”

正确佩戴头盔

死亡风险降七成

Statistics from the traffic management bureau of the Ministry of Public Security show that motorcycles, electric bicycles and cars are among the vehicle types most frequently involved in fatal traffic accidents. About 80 percent of deaths among motorcycle and electric bicycle riders and passengers are attributed to traumatic brain injuries. Research shows that wearing a helmet correctly and using a seat belt properly can reduce the risk of death in traffic accidents by 60 to 70 percent.

Choosing the right helmet is also essential. China issued a national standard for motorcycle and electric bicycle occupant helmets, GB 811-2022, on Dec 1, 2022. Consumers should check that helmets they buy comply with the standard.

另外，每个人头围大小可能有区别，需购买适合自己的型号。具体来说，试戴头盔时应确保头盔与头部贴合，束带不松不紧，这样才能做到既舒适，在意外发生时又能真正护住头颅。

A proper fit matters, too. Since head sizes vary, buyers should choose a helmet that fits them well. When trying one on, make sure it sits snugly on the head and that the chin strap is secure without being uncomfortably tight. A helmet that is too loose may not provide adequate protection in a crash.

需要注意的是，头盔上一定不要自己随便加装饰物，否则出现意外时，装饰物先触地，可能导致脖颈扭伤，造成致命风险。

Authorities also warn against attaching decorations to helmets. Such accessories may create additional hazards in a crash, potentially increasing the risk of injury to the head or neck.

温馨提醒，别把戴头盔当成应付检查，它是给自己留的“一条命”。
