Anyone who has ridden a bike or motorcycle has likely worn a helmet at some point in their lifetime. They have heard it from the first day those little feet touched a pedal, “always wear a helmet.” Whether from a parent, guardian, or even television, at some point in everyone's time here on earth they have heard that wearing a helmet will save more brain cells than wearing nothing. Eventually, some of those kids that enjoyed bikes as a kid, grew up and their enjoyment that they found as a child
belt laws and motorcycle helmet laws have been a controversial topic and there has been much argument between the two sides. I will be presenting both sides of the argument and I will be giving my opinion on this topic. Many motorcyclists despite knowing the benefits of wearing a helmet, are still against the forced helmet laws. A very common argument that is used against these laws for motorcyclists, is that it would be a violation of their civil liberties. Jeff Hennie of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation
People should not have to wear helmets because non-helmet usage dose not cost the government more money then helmet usage in a crash there is no difference between injuries with a helmet and without a helmet, and a helmet limits personal freedom. Living in Wisconsin we see see many motorcyclist ride without helmets many non motorcyclist think that that rider is irresponsible or he has a death wish and that they are costing them more money in there taxes thats just not true many motorcyclist have
Helmet Laws Helmet laws throughout the United States are very wide spread. Some sates either have minimal laws on helmets, some are on hundred percent pro helmet and others have no restrictions at all when it comes to wearing a helmet on your motorcycle. Ever notice on how we are made. We have two or more body parts that are important but if one is taken from us we can still live. Now the things we have just one of for the most part, if we lost them we would basically be dead. We have a brain, you
world are having with motorcycle accidents. Just like the rest of the world, Brazil is stating how the amount of motorcycles on the roadways have increased over the last few years. Like all other countries people are looking for a cheaper easier mode of transportation. This study looked at the amount the insurance companies had to pay for motorcycle patients who wear a helmet to the ones who did not. They found that on average the amount spent on medical care for a no helmet patient was $5.5 billion
the years, many motorcycle accidents have led to death. Some of these accidents could have been prevented with the protection of a helmet in which many lives could have been saved. This document proposes a review of how a helmet can help a motorcyclist or passenger in an accident and why all states should require motorcyclists and passengers to wear helmets. The proposed review will discuss the physical and mental principles behind the causes of wearing and not wearing the helmet and what will change
child car seats, smoke detectors, lights on bicycles operated at night, and a whole range of other safety devices. So, it makes sense that there would be a safety law in place to protect the motorcycle riders as well. When a motorcycle is a vehicle operated on a public roadway, its rider and passenger is subject to the same rights and obligations as other vehicle operators traveling on the same roads. If it is reasonable to require car seats for children, airbags in vehicles and the use of car seatbelts
Motorcycles are probably some of the coolest things in the world to eight-year old kids. I was lucky enough to grow up around motorcycles, and some of the kindest people I have ever met; bikers. My dad and his best friend, Ken, had ridden motorcycles together since their junior year of high school. They both saved up all the money they had earned from bailing hay to buy their motorcycles. Being reckless, as most teenage boys are, they developed the bad habit of not wearing helmets while riding. In
his motorcycle on his way to move into his new house when a van cut him off on the highway and his motorcycle struck the back of the van, causing the bike and boy to tumble down the highway at 60 MPH. Luckily, the boy was wearing a helmet. That helmet had been crushed in from the impact, and if he hadn’t been wearing it, that would have been his head. Motorcycle safety has always been a concern for many people, including parents of children who want bikes. Even if you don’t ride motorcycles, knowing
by law to wear helmets while cycling. After exploring the benefits and setbacks of wearing helmets while riding a motorcycle, I believe it should be required by law that all individuals wear helmets. They increase the safety of yourself as an individual and the safety of others, so wearing a helmet would only be beneficial. The main benefit of wearing a helmet is that they are a huge factor in preventing serious brain/ head injury, which can sometimes lead to death. Wearing a helmet will reduce fatality
