About this product: If helmet laws save lives, why do states with helmet laws suffer more fatalities per 10,000 registered motorcycles than states who have no helmet laws (3.38 deaths compared to 3.05 deaths per 10,000). Where is the conclusive evidence that shows helmet laws save lives. Helmets can only fully protect a rider at impacts of less than 14 miles per hour. How many accidents occur between car and motorcycle that involve each vehicle going only 7 miles an hour and isn't avoidable. Helmets may reduce the number of fatalities due to head trauma but the number of deaths due to neck injuries go up with helmet usage, so either way you die of something. As for saving society money, more than 70% of car/motorcycle accidents are the car driver's fault, so cyclists should where helmets so injuries the negligent driver inflicts on the rider cost less? Come on. Why do states that have motorcycle helmet laws not have laws requiring car drivers to where helmets? Only 20% of serious injuries to motorcyclists are head related while 90% of all car injuries are head injuries. Anyone who argues that motorcyclists should be forced to wear helmets, better be wearing one when I see them behind the wheel of their car.

Description: This study compares U.S. motorcycle-related hospitalizations across states with differing helmet laws. Cross-sectional analyses of hospital discharge data from 33 states participating in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project in 2001 were conducted. Results revealed that motorcyclists hospitalized from states without universal helmet laws are more likely to die during the hospitalization, sustain severe traumatic brain injury, be discharged to long-term care facilities, and lack private health insurance. This study further illustrates and substantiates the increased burden of hospitalization and long-term care seen in states that lack universal motorcycle helmet use laws.

Description: This study evaluates the association of universal helmet laws with U.S. motorcyclist fatality rates from 1993 through 2002 using climate measures as statistical controls for motorcycling activity via quasi-maximum likelihood generalized linear regression analyses. Results revealed that motorcyclist fatalities and injuries are strongly associated with normalized heating degree days and precipitation inches, and that universal helmet laws are associated with lower motorcyclist fatality rates when these climate measures, and their interaction, are statistically controlled. This study shows that climate measures have considerable promise as indirect measures (proxies) of motorcycling activity in generalized linear regression studies.
