Hospital admission Made Apr 19, 2020, sent to the company Apr 27, 2020, published by CPSC May 18, 2020
The product, in the report: CycleAWare Reflex Adhesive bicycle helmet mirror part # 01-400BLK
I had a bicycle accident. I was wearing a helmet with a “Third eye” mirror attached on the left side. There is a large plastic piece stuck onto the helmet. When my head hit the road on the left side it caused my helmet to crack at that location. I lost consciousness and had prolonged headaches and also double vision ever since the accident. I was taken by ambulance and hospitalized for 4 days. I have a photograph of my helmet and the bruise on my temple. So I think it is a design flaw to attach a mirror with a protuberant piece. I would like to send you the photos, but do not know how to do so on this form

Emergency room Made Jun 8, 2011, published by CPSC Jun 30, 2011
The product, in the report: Mirror that attaches to bicycle helmet.
Product: CycleAware Reflex Mirror Manufacturer’s website: http://www.cycleaware.com/
The Reflex mirror attaches to the side of a bicycle helmet. In part, a bicycle helmet protects the wearer’s head by distributing impact forces across as large an area as possible. The Reflex’s attachment device is made of sturdy plastic and stands out from the helmet by about 3/4 inch. If the attachment device hits the ground, it concentrates impact force onto an area about the size of quarter.
This is not merely theoretical. Examination of my helmet makes it completely obvious that the Reflex’s attachment device serves to concentrate the impact force. I did have a concussion. Although it cannot be proven, I believe that I would not have had the concussion without the mirror.
Upon request, I can provide a photo of the helmet.
