In 2007, 57 percent of the fatally injured motorcyclists used helmets.
About two-thirds (63%) of the fatally injured motorcyclists were not wearing helmets in States without universal helmet laws compared to 14% in States with universal helmet laws.
Helmets are estimated to be 37% effective in preventing fatal injuries to motorcyclists. 800 additional lives would have been saved in 2007 if all motorcyclists had worn helmets.
