Wearing A Helmet Can Boost Your Chance Of Survival

By Don Swain


Wearing a helmet can increase your chance of survival when you are involve in an accident. But despite of this there are a bunch of people who ignore and disregard the idea of wearing a helmet. Since the head is such a crucial part of anyone's body, it deserves special attention when it comes to protection.

The first motorcycle helmets find a way to have been developed in the 1950s. It was around this period that motorcycle speeding and faster riding became more readily available (motorcycles were first developed from the 1880's), and the fatalities because of motorcycle accidents were commencing to rise.

California Police was the first to adapt to wearing the helmets. During the 1966 a law that mandates the wearing of head protection was introduced. And 1970's was the year when most of the states made some kind legislation for the purpose of mandatory wearing of helmet.

Many states changed their laws intermittently over the years since its a state by state basis. And because of the state laws this was rarely enforced during that time.

You don't have to be a motorcycle driver to find out that most fatalities involving motorcycles are from head injuries. This only shows as well as proves the importance of the helmet. It doesn't take much of a concussion to severely injure the brain.

Studies also shows that person who doesn't wear head protection is 40% more prone to be killed if they may be in a collision than people that do. Furthermore, helmet riders employ a 70% success rate to avoid serious brain damage during any sort of accident.

Almost any responsible motorcyclist knows that speeding or driving fast on an open road should consider his safety by wearing quality head protection. Making sure that you will invest in head protection that is made with quality materials. Also make sure that the gear you wear fits you.

Unfortunately, many of the motorcycle riders who are injured in accidents resulting from wearing a cheap motorcycle helmets will not be properly insured, and the responsibility to pay their care and treatment often becomes the duty of taxpayers or clinics. Although they may think that it can be an individual choice not wearing a helmet, but the matter have a much larger sized social impact and finance burden on society.
