Abstract

Over 7,000 bi-level motorcycle accident reports from Illinois and Michigan are being studied to determine the effectiveness of helmet usage in reducing the frequency and severity of head injury. Preliminary analysis suggests that un-helmeted riders are more than three times more likely to suffer fatal head injury in an accident than are helmeted riders
