“Since the repeal of the helmet law in 2000, the number of fatal
crashes for every 10,000 registered motorcycles increased by 21 percent,
suggesting motorcyclists without helmets are more likely to suffer serious
and fatal injuries,”
Ride Smart Florida reported. Make sure you buy a new helmet if you drop your old one on a
hard surface or if it sustains a heavy blow, as it may no longer be safe
to use. “37 percent of motorcyclists were not wearing a safety helmet
before a fatal crash during 2010,” according to Ride Smart Florida.
Make sure to buy a helmet that fits comfortably and does not impair your
hearing or vision. Helmets run anywhere from $100 to $800 or more, and
because we’re talking about protecting your safety, now’s
not the time to be frugal.
