Helmets Really Are Saving Lives

While doing some research, I came across this article from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

While the majority of the article focuses on the legal drinking age, the third paragraph emphasizes how the number of motorcycle related deaths has decreased due to the use of helmets.

The NHTSA is estimating that 7,502 lives were saved over the 5 year period ending in 2007. How this number is determined is beyond me, but nevertheless, its still good news. It just goes to show that wearing your helmet while riding really can make a difference.

No matter what type of helmet you choose to wear, clearly just the practice of wearing one is good news!
