Motorcycle Helmet Safety
Here are the conclusions of a study from the National Center for Statistics and Analysis:
Both the design and materials used in manufacturing motorcycle helmets have improved
throughout the 1990’s, resulting in a significant improvement in their effectiveness in
protecting against fatal head injuries. Despite the improvement in effectiveness, from 29
percent to 37 percent, motorcycle fatalities continue to increase as riders choose not to
take advantage of the protection afforded by helmets. The weakening or repeal of
compulsory helmet use laws in many states has been shown to be associated with a
dramatic drop in the percentage of motorcyclists who wear helmets.
