Correct answer
- AReduce hasta tres veces la probabilidad de sufrir lesiones en la cabeza.reduces the chance of head injuries by up to three times.
Explanation
A helmet does not remove the risk, but it greatly reduces the chance of head injuries, by up to about three times, in a fall or if the cyclist is hit by a vehicle. That is why it is compulsory for cyclists on interurban roads and for children under 16 on all roads.
