| Bodily Injury Locations in Fatally Injured Motorcycle Riders |
| This study reveals a significant correlation between helmet use and injures to the head among fatally injured motorcycle riders. The data showed that slightly more than half of the un-helmeted fatally injured motorcyclists had one or more injuries to their head. This compares to slightly more than a third of the helmeted motorcyclists. Thus, fatally injured motorcyclists are 45 percent more likely to have suffered a head injury than unhelmeted riders.
