Riding your bike in a thunderstorm without a helmet on is an example of a ____
A
consequence
B
Risk behavior
C
Cumulative risk
D
Prevention
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In fact, when there is a thunderstorm, nothing in the area is ‘safe’ from a potential lightning bolt and it is certainly not worth taking risks. Because the metal on a bike is a conductor, if it were to be struck, anything in contact with the bike would be burnt (and this could prove fatal to humans).

Detailed explanation-2: -It’s not safe to cycle during a thunderstorm especially if there is nothing around and the person is at the highest altitude compared to everything else, if a person is surrounded by the higher elevated objects’ chances of getting hit are a lot smaller.

Detailed explanation-3: -Helmets Protect Your Head In the case of a bicycle accident, heads are often the first body parts to become injured. That’s why it is crucial to choose a helmet that fits properly. Wearing the right size helmet protects both your head and brain, preventing external and internal damage.

Detailed explanation-4: -During a thunderstorm, avoid open vehicles such as convertibles, motorcycles, and golf carts. Be sure to avoid open structures such as porches, gazebos, baseball dugouts, and sports arenas. And stay away from open spaces such as golf courses, parks, playgrounds, ponds, lakes, swimming pools, and beaches.
