Watch: Sachin Tendulkar Requests Motorcyclists To Wear Helmets
- Bikers without a helmet were following Sachin Tendulkar to take a picture
- Road safety should be the highest priority for everyone, tweeted Sachin
- Bikers are 40% more likely to die without a helmet from an injury
In a video posted by Sachin Tendulkar on Twitter, the former Indian cricketer can be seen asking two boys that were following his car in a scooter in a chance to grab a selfie. While the boys did exactly that, the lack of a helmet on either the rider or pillion prompted Sachin to ask them to wear one. The video was uploaded with the caption, 'Road safety be the highest priority for everyone. Please don't ride without a helmet.'

In the video, Sachin asks, "Promise me one thing, the next time you will use a helmet. It is dangerous for you like this. Life is precious. Is that a promise? 100 percent?" The boys do promise it, but after getting a selfie with the Master Blaster. Not only the boys, but Sachin also urged another rider to wear a helmet as he tried to catch a glimpse of the legend.
According to the World Health Organisation, motorcyclists without a helmet are 40 per cent more likely to die from a head injury. In 2015, the government recorded over 5 lakh road accidents across India, which equates to nearly 400 accidents every day, which is an alarming number by global standards. That statistic alone should be enough to urge you to buy a safe helmet. But a huge number of riders do not follow the rule, which is disappointing. Hopefully, words from the God of cricket will help prevail some sense in a number of riders.
