Over a dozen models of helmets, in various sizes, have been certified to this safety standard. The CSA standard applies to helmets for cyclists aged five years and older. Requirements for a helmet's impact-absorbing qualities, chin strap strength and the minimum area of the head to be covered by the helmet are specified in the standard. “The CSA standard is stricter than either of the U.S. cycling helmet standards,” states Michael Lewis, Director of Communi­ cations for the Canadian Standards Association. “If a helmet meets the CSA standard, it's a better helmet as far as protection goes.” Every year across Canada, many people ... especially children ... are seriously injured or killed while cycling because they don’t wear cycling helmets.
