- The most successful project undertaken
by PHMA has been our instructional video on testing and
proper wearing of helmets.
- By observations of our own members,
we discovered that many of the helmets worn by school
children were being worn incorrectly. The most flagrant
misuse observed was the wearing of helmets cocked toward
the back of the head, exposing the forehead. Some wore
their helmets without the chin strap fastened or with
the strap adjusted too loosely under the chin.
- In addition to warnings and instructions
in the manufacturers instruction booklets included with
the helmet, PHMA undertook the task of producing a professionally
photographed video using the comedic "Professor Helmut"
testing and demonstrating the correct wearing of helmets.
- Over 4000 copies of the video
have been shipped free of charge to schools, safety organizations,
police departments and to all coalitions of the "Safe
Kids" organization in the United States and Canada.
- Runs approximately six minutes.
