The Impact of Motorcycle Helmet Use
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1991Mandatory motorcycle helmet-use legislation is supported by the high morbidity of motorcycle trauma and its cost to society.

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1984
Extensive research and operational data have shown that a motorcycle helmet is very effective in reducing injuries resulting from a motorcycle accident. However, less than 50 percent of all motorcycle riders wear a helmet. Therefore, to encourage helmet wear and, thus, decrease critical injuries, the helmet must be designed with the wearer in mind.

“Phony” motorcycle helmet use in Georgia
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2005Some motorcyclists consider laws that mandate helmet use a violation of their personal freedom; others contend that helmets impair their vision and hearing or increase the risk of neck injury (despite the lack of evidence to support these views). States vary in their legislation, but motorcycle helmets are required in all but 3 states.
