Some of the great thrills of riding a motorcycle are having the wind in your hair and the sense of freedom from the open road. It is this feeling that leads many riders to forgo the very thing that could save their lives in an Arizona motorcycle crash – a helmet. While wearing a helmet when the temperature reaches 115 degrees and higher doesn’t sound attractive, it is one decision that could mean the difference between life and death.
In Arizona, the motorcycle helmet law is pretty lax. Only children 17 years old and under are required to wear one. Whichever side of the debate you might be regarding our state’s helmet law, one thing is for certain – helmets often prevent fatal brain injuries. Below are some startling statistics compiled by the Brain Association of America:
Motorcycle wrecks are generally far more serious than other types of vehicle collisions. A person has an “armor of protection” when in a passenger vehicle, but a motorcyclist has nothing between him or her and the pavement.
