The BayCare Clinic Foundation is Partnering with the Green Bay YMCA for its 41st Annual Ski & Sport Sale

Posted: October 21, 2011

BayCare Clinic is partnering with the Green Bay YMCA for its 41st Annual Ski & Sports Sale. At this event, children can receive a FREE snowsports helmet (compliments of BayCare Clinic) after becoming better educated on the safety of wearing one.

Why are snowsports helmets important? A 1999 Consumer Protection Safety Commission special investigation study of skiing and snowboarding head injuries indicated that 44 percent of injuries could be addressed by helmet use. The study also showed that for children under 15 years of age, 53 percent of head injuries are addressable by use of a helmet. In addition, based upon a review of skiing- and snowboarding-related death certificates, 11 deaths per year solely attributed to head injuries might be addressed by the use of helmets.
