- HELMET USE LAWS.
- Motorcycle and Bicycle Helmet Laws.
- Motorcycle Helmet Laws.
- The history of motorcycle helmet laws in the United States is characterized by change. In 1967, to increase motorcycle helmet use, the federal government required the states to enact helmet use laws in order to qualify for certain federal safety programs and highway construction funds. ... By the early 1970s, almost all the states had universal motorcycle helmet laws (“universal” in the sense that they covered all riders). Michigan was the first state to repeal its law in 1968, beginning a pattern of repeal, reenactment, and amendment of motorcycle helmet laws. In 1976, states successfully lobbied Congress to stop the Department of Transportation from assessing financial penalties on states without helmet laws. By 1980, most states had repealed or limited their motorcycle helmet laws to cover riders younger than 18, but not older riders. ... (Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, and New Hampshire don't have helmet laws. ... And most recently, Louisiana moved from a partial to a universal motorcycle helmet law.
- The changes in helmet laws have created a natural laboratory for researchers to study the effects of the laws on helmet use rates and on motorcycle deaths and head injuries. Helmet use rates approach 100 percent under universal laws (currently, in 20 states and the District of Columbia), but partial laws that cover only some motorcyclists (currently, in 26 states) are widely disobeyed. Repeatedly, research has shown that universal helmet laws reduce deaths and serious injuries among motorcyclists. The sharp reductions in helmet use resulting from weakening or repealing motorcycle helmet laws are followed by significant increases in injuries and deaths. ... The universal helmet law in Texas is estimated to have saved 650 lives between 1968 when it went into effect and 1977 when it was first amended. ... Helmet use which had dropped to 41 percent under the partial law, promptly rose to 98 percent and serious injury crashes per registered motorcycle decreased by 11 percent. ... In less than a year, helmet use was down to 66 percent, and operator fatalities increased 31 percent in the first full year of the new law.

- Product Review: Dainese Ergon Helmet.
- He'd Buy This Helmet.
- By Colin MacKellar, Dutch Desk Most people would acknowledge that Arai and Shoei are top dogs in the motorcycle helmet market. ... So confident they are of their product that you won't find their name anywhere on the helmet. Graced by perhaps the most instantly recognized logo in motorcycle racing, no letters are needed to identify this helmet as belonging to the Dainese stable of motorcycle clothing. ...
- A critical component of the comfort and safety of a helmet lies in its weight. The application of new composite materials in the last few years has resulted in a significant reduction in helmet mass in comparison to traditional fiberglass and polycarbonate shells. The Ergon uses carbon/kevlar composite fibers in the woven shell of the helmet that is laminated outside of the mold. This unique process is claimed to increase strength and reduce weight, the best of both worlds in helmet design. ...
- Some clever design has gone into the helmet, intended to improve both aerodynamics and reduction of wind noise. A unique venturi system, used to ventilate the helmet, operates via small plastic flaps on the visor pivot plates that slide open to reveal holes leading into the helmet's core. Wind passing over these open flaps will produce a venturi effect that sucks cool air through the helmet.
- This is a seriously quiet helmet. ...
- A separate nose shield is supplied to direct breath away from the visor and is essential equipment, as the helmet tends to fog very easily. There is a two-position clip on the lower jaw of the helmet that can prop open the visor for some fresh air, but it is not totally effective and is difficult to find with a gloved hand. ...
- He was commissioned by Dainese to create the Belzebu line found on the helmet and other Dainese clothes. ...
