Despite the proven record of motorcycle helmets reduce catastrophic head injuries and deaths are many state laws mandate the use of motorcycle helmets still against. The compulsory helmet law generally against have objections based on individual freedom.

Unfortunately sometimes, individual freedom comes at a high cost. Was a motorcycle enthusiast in New York, a bike ride to protest, mandatory helmet laws was killed when he crashed and suffered serious head injuries involved.

The debate on the mandatory motorcycle helmet laws pits typically public safety advocates against those that the laws as a paternalistic intrusion on their personal choice display. All motorcycle riders are required by State law for motorcycle helmets in 20 States including Georgia wear, and 27 other States make compulsory helmets based on age of the driver.

There is little dispute, motorcycle accidents usually far more serious injuries and a higher probability of wrongful death than those with car. Administration (NHTSA) is based on data from the national highway traffic safety the accident mortality rate for motorcyclists 550 percent greater than for passenger vehicle occupants per registered vehicle. Based on other information from the NHTSA, motorcycle accidents account for approximately 14%, although they registered only 3 percent of all vehicles at the national level all the deaths of make.

While there are a number of motorcycle enthusiasts to oppose the mandatory helmet laws, it is a fairly significant body of proof, the helmets save lives and reduce catastrophic head injuries in motorcycle crashes. The NHTSA estimates that motorcycle helmets per year save nearly 2,000 lives and predict if all motorcycle riders wore helmets a further 800 motorcycle accident deaths per year would be prevented. These numbers are hardly surprising when you consider that more than 40 percent of all drivers in motorcycle accidents killed bear no helmet.

Regardless of which side of the debate, it comes down, it is also difficult to argue that the costs borne by no motorcycle helmet is significant. NHTSA data indicate mandatory helmet saves about $3 billion per year and this universal use in one would result in another $1.2 billion in savings.

Those mandatory helmet against criticizing laws produced the data from the NHTSA, because the organization advocated compulsory universal use of motorcycle helmets. Critics of mandatory helmet laws argue that it less motorcyclists since the adoption of mandatory helmet laws but that it no significant decline in the motorcycle accident fatalities. Laws against those the compulsory helmet also claim that there is no problem of public health since the motorcycle accident victim of their own health care costs will have to pay. However, this takes into account not for the drain on resources for public health with anyone who receives any form of publicly subsidized health care.
