Headphones are a danger to life, study finds.
Walking with your head in the clouds can be dangerous but not as perilous as listening to your iPod. The number of
people suffering serious injury or death while wearing headphones for MP3 players has tripled in six years, according to a
US study.
An increase in the use of headphones while walking in the street has led to a dramatic rise in the number of injuries, with
teenagers, men and young adults the most at risk from hurting themselves.
In the study, experts looked at data from 2004 to 2011. They found that 116 people in the US wearing headphones had
died or been seriously hurt during that period. The number of people who died or were injured jumped from 16 in 2004-05
to 47 in 2010-11.
Most victims were men (68%) and under the age of 30 (67%), with about one in 10 of all cases under the age of 18.
According to the study, in the online journal Injury Prevention, 70% of the incidents resulted in death. The study found that
wearing headphones may have played a direct part in many of the accidents, because the users could not hear warnings
that they were in danger.
The experts concluded: The use of headphones may pose a safety risk to pedestrians, especially in environments with
moving vehicles.
Other studies have found that people wearing headphones or who are talking on a mobile phone can suffer from
inattentional blindness or iPod oblivion. This is a reduction in attention to the outside world and it can lead to people
paying less attention to traffic when they cross the street.
Kevin Clinton, the head of road safety at the UK Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, advised pedestrians with
headphones to: Ensure you are not dangerously distracted and that you remain aware of what is happening around you.
