The people who succumb to head injuries are generally among 20 to 39 years in age. This being the most productive age group, these deaths and injuries are not only an enormous loss of productive human resource but also have serious implications for the health budget of the country. Even with advanced and intensive medical therapy and skilled neurosurgical procedures not many lives can be saved. Even those that are saved at times become pathetically disabled imposing a great burden on the society in general and the family in particular. According to available statistics, per mile travelled, the number of deaths on two-wheelers is about 14 times the number in cars.
Motorcycles have rapid acceleration and high speeds.
They're less stable than cars in emergency braking and less visible. Motorcyclists are more prone to crash injuries than car drivers because motorcycles are unenclosed, leaving the rider vulnerable to contact hard road surfaces. This is why wearing a helmet is important. Helmets are the principal countermeasure for reducing crash-related head injuries, the leading cause of death among riders without helmets. Helmets decrease the severity of injury and thus the likelihood of death, and the overall cost of medical care.
