Motorcycle Helmets and Universal Helmet Laws

Motorcycle Helmets 2000 NAMS Report: –No better crash protection for motorcyclist than FMVSS 218- compliant motorcycle helmet 1981 Hurt Report –FMVSS-218 compliant –“Single critical factor in the prevention [and] reduction of head injury” Source: Maartens, 2002.

Protection Source: NHTSA Traffic Safety Facts © Denis Markwell T/A Thundercat Head injury is a leading cause of death in motorcycle crashes

The Helmet Helmets are designed to protect the rider’s head FMVSS-218 Compliant Helmet Photo courtesy of David Thom.

Helmet Effectiveness Types of 218 compliant helmets Protection –Non-helmeted riders: three times brain injury risk –Helmets reduce risk of fatality by 37% Photos courtesy of David Thom.

Helmet Effectiveness Lower fatality rates Prevent serious head injuries Reduce the need for: –Ambulance service –Hospitalization –Neurosurgical intervention –Intensive care –Rehabilitation –Long-term care Does not increase the risk of other types of injury Source: GAO 1991; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2003.

1997: several states repealed helmet laws Arkansas Texas Kentucky Louisiana Florida Pennsylvania Universal Helmet Law Repeals Helmet Usage Rate (%) Source: GAO 1991; Bledsoe 2002; Race 2004; Christian 2003; Ho 2004; Muller 2004; Kyrychenko 2006; Hotz : several states repealed helmet laws

Universal Helmet Law Repeals 117 more deaths in Florida 80 more deaths in Texas 4x more likely to suffer traumatic brain injuries (unhelmeted) in Kentucky 60 more deaths in Louisiana Source: GAO 1991; Bledsoe 2002; Race 2004; Christian 2003; Ho 2004; Muller 2004; Kyrychenko 2006; Hotz 2002.

Universal Helmet Law Repeals Helmet usage decreases dramatically Brain injuries increase Deaths increase

Lives Saved by Helmets Source: NHTSA, Traffic Safety Facts. DOT HS , 2005.

Why Universal Helmet Laws? Rider protection; high usage rates Cost: 2005 –110,000 motorcyclists involved in crashes –$17.5 billion –Unhelmeted riders 36% of the involved motorcyclists 70% of the cost ($12.2 billion) –$71,000 for helmeted riders –$310,000 for unhelmeted riders

Young Riders’ Lives Enforcement Usage rates drop Least experienced; engage in risky behavior Partial laws: little protection for minors Universal laws: 31% reduction in fatalities Source: Muller 2004; Kyrychenko 2006; Everett 2001; Spain 1997.

Use of Safety Devices Motorcycle helmets –National survey: 61% ridden without helmet favor helmet use Seat belt use laws –211,000 lives saved since 1975

Summary Motorcycle helmets are effective at preventing deaths and injuries during motorcycle crashes Universal helmet laws maximize usage of compliant helmets for all riders
