Abstract

Since 1975 19 states in the U.S. have repealed or significantly modified their statutes to allow the use of motorcycles without head protection. In the latter half of the 1970s, four states studied the impact of this repeal in detail and conclusions were made. In order to study if these conclusions were valid an in depth analysis was made comparing one year of non-helmet legislation versus one year of helmet legislation. Helmet usage, injury and fatality rates, and financial impacts are reported.
