Benefits of Wearing a Motorcycle Helmet
- Decrease the likelihood of death
- Decrease the severity of injuries
- Reduce the cost of medical care required
A helmet may be the only protection you have if you experience an accident while riding. The degree your head is injured is significantly reduced when you are wearing a helmet during a motorcycle accident. Helmets are designed to cushion and protect the head from the impact of an accident.
DOT Helmet Standards
When purchasing your helmet, make sure that it meets the DOT standards for motorcycle helmets. There should be a DOT label inside the helmet.
DOT-approved helmets have:
