Dan, et. al, Here's an interesting link: http://www.bikersrights.com/statistics/stats.html It's a comparison of motorcycle accident rates between states that have mandatory helmet laws and those that don't. On balance the rates are lower in states that don't have helmet laws*. Yes, and this is the reason that PA repealed the motorcycle helmet law this year. The data just doesn't support it. Having said that, I still always wear my helmet. The reason being that I believe I don't take extra chances with it and thus actually am safer. However, across the entire population, this just doesn't appear to be the case. Counter intuitive to be sure. Matt |
