Most activities have now a kind of protective or safety equipment that are used, or should be worn during this activity. Motorcycle riding is no exception. Whether it should be on the road or off, all drivers and front seat passengers wearing the appropriate protective clothing, and especially a motorcycle helmet manufactured to meet DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) standards.
The effectiveness of wearing a helmet has been proven time and time again in reliable studies that examine thethe best protection you can wear while driving a motorcycle. And the old excuses for not wearing a helmet as "helmets break necks", "Helmets block your vision and impair hearing" have also shown time and time again so much hot air.
Although not a "panacea" for the safety of motorcycles, in a crash a motorcycle helmet can protect your brain, face, and your life. In combination with other protective equipment, good drivers education training, proper licensing, and onlyplain heads-up consciousness while driving, the potential for injury is greatly reduced.
A properly fitted and comfortable motorcycle helmet makes riding even more fun. A good helmet reduces the noise of the wind in his ears, and the wind blast on your face and eyes. It protects the head from flying insects and other objects such as rocks, kicked up by other vehicles. A good motorcycle helmet has also been shown to reduce fatigue of the driver.
Helmets arecarefully and scientifically developed over the years since they were first introduced. They are today a very sophisticated, specialized and essential piece of safety equipment for riders the purpose of which is not only to protect your head, but also to do it in style.
Accidents happen, and some are totally unavoidable. As a motorcycle rider, we don't have a steel box or airbags to help protect us. We only have good protective clothing, good sense, and a good helmet to keep us of injuries. Helmets work, but only if you use them.
