NGOs are advocates and independent voices that drive road safety from the ground up. They bring community perspectives, hold governments accountable, and turn commitments into implementation. Learn more 👇 https://www.roadsafetyngos.org/events/why-we-need-ngos-driving-changes-on-the-ground/

A strong and independent NGO movement is essential to achieving the targets set by the Global Plan. Read more about threats to an environment conducive to promoting road safety in Latin America 👇 https://www.roadsafetyngos.org/events/threats-to-enabling-environment-for-road-safety-advocacy/

11 helmets, sourced by Alliance member NGOs, were taken to an accredited laboratory for testing. We spoke to some of the NGOs that sourced the helmets that were tested to get their reaction to the results. 👇 https://www.roadsafetyngos.org/events/ngo-reactions-to-the-helmet-testing/

We sent helmets to an accredited lab for testing. In our workshop, we’ll look at the results and explore how NGOs can strengthen advocacy for safe helmets. https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Zz0Vs0WBTZ20sGbVOHnB6A?mc_cid=c0e8d17dc5&mc_eid=48a4c31167#/registration

Helmets from Nigeria, Greece and Benin failed the impact test. This means in a crash these helmets will not absorb the crash forces and instead your skull and brain will have to absorb the forces, risking a skull or brain injury https://www.roadsafetyngos.org/act-now/helmet-advocacy/helmet-testing/

Helmets from India, Kenya, and Ethiopia did not even have a strap and buckle to be tested in rolloff or retention system strength tests. This means in a crash, these helmets will not stay on your head. https://www.roadsafetyngos.org/act-now/helmet-advocacy/helmet-testing/

Helmets from Mexico, Vietnam, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire were ejected during the rolloff test. This means in a crash, these helmets will not stay on your head, risking a skull or brain injury. Discover more about lab test results: www.roadsafetyngos.org/act-now/helmet-advocacy/helmet-testing/

In the run-up to the #APRSC2025, we went out with some NGOs to talk to riders and vendors about helmet safety. Helmets that meet safety standards should be available in the first place. Discover more about our helmet advocacy: https://www.roadsafetyngos.org/act-now/helmet-advocacy/

We tested helmets from local shops in an accredited lab. None of the 11 passed all three basic tests, and only one passed one of the tests. Discover more 👇 https://www.roadsafetyngos.org/act-now/helmet-advocacy/helmet-testing/

Motorcycle helmets bought by NGOs from local shops were tested in an accredited lab. None of the helmets tested would provide adequate protection to riders in a crash. Discover more about the test results: https://www.roadsafetyngos.org/act-now/helmet-advocacy/helmet-testing/

Motorcycle helmet test results revealed that none of them provides adequate protection to riders in a crash.  Read more 👇 https://www.roadsafetyngos.org/press-release/press-release-independent-testing-shows-unsafe-helmets-available-in-countries-fail-protect-riders/

At the Ministerial Conference, NGOs brought helmets from local shops to demonstrate to decision-makers what riders are actually using. They came straight from the streets. We selected some of them for independent lab testing with support from @FIAFdn. Lab results are on their way

Every helmet tells a story. We asked NGOs to collect helmets from local markets, the same ones riders wear every day. They brought them to the Ministerial Conference early this year. We took 11 of these helmets for testing to see how safe they were. Stay tuned for the results.

Safe helmets reduce the risk of death by 6x and brain injury by 74%. People are doing the right thing by wearing helmets, but if that helmet is unsafe, we are letting them down.  Thanks @Uber for supporting our white paper and the rider stories 👇 https://youtu.be/FTLQbUq3Z4c

During consultations for our white paper, 65%–91% of riders said safety mattered more than price. When we allow nonstandard helmets into the market, we let people down. NGOs can expose them and stand up for people’s right to be safe Watch the stories https://youtu.be/ae4i5UpXQOw?si=CNQyd31rh5x1B_W5

People rely on certification labels, but not all helmets have them, and not all labels are trustworthy. Riders can’t easily tell which helmets are safe. Governments should implement comprehensive helmet market regulations. Watch the stories from riders https://youtu.be/xghBRW5f4eQ?feature=shared
