A traumatic brain injury (TBI) cannot be cured, so it is all the more important for people to prevent such injuries by using common sense.

For example:

• Always wear a seat belt in a motor vehicle
• Use an appropriate child safety seat or a booster
• Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Always wear a helmet when on a bicycle, motorcycle, scooter, snowmobile and other open, unrestrained vehicles
• Wear a helmet when participating in contact sports, horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, skating and skateboarding.
