Sports related injuries among today’s baby boomers increased over the past years.
Injuries occurred most frequently during bicycle accidents, basketball, golf and soccer. It is important for people of the ages 35 to 54 to stay active and participate in sports. However, research suggests that those people are less likely to double-check safety devices. While today’s children learned to adapt to helmets when bicycling, baby-boomers tend to ignore them. Therefore, head injuries occur on a more frequent basis with those who don’t wear helmets at all.
