Fatal motorcycle accidents can be preventable if helmets are worn. According to the Centers for Disease and Prevention Control, helmets saved over 1800 lives in 2017. Helmets reduce the risk of death by 37-percent for motorcyclists and 41-percent for passengers, and the risk of head trauma by 69-percent. The CDC reports that if all motorcyclists wore helmets in 2017, the lives of over 740 motorcycle riders could have been saved had bikers worn helmets that year.
