summer is here in my neck of the woods and living in Harley country there are bikers all over the roads unhelmeted bikers a few facts for those who do not like wearing helmets: the death rate per 10,000 registered unhelmeted motorcyclists is 3.38 unhelmeted motorcyclists involved in police-reported crashes were more than twice as likely to be hospitalized for a head injury than were helmeted riders motorcycles are less stable and less visible than cars, and they have high performance capabilities - for these and other reasons, motorcycles are more likely than cars to be in crashes - and when motorcycles crash, their riders lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle, so they're more likely to be injured or killed - per mile traveled, the number of deaths on motorcycles is about 26 times the number in cars helmets are about 29 percent effective in preventing motorcycle deaths and about 67 percent effective in preventing brain injuries - an unhelmeted rider is 40 percent more likely to suffer a fatal head injury, compared with a helmeted rider save your life, wear a helmet
