Don't forget your helmet

Posted : 25-01-2007

Bikers in the US are being advised on the safety aspects of motorcycling, although those in the UK may also want to take notice and ensure maximum safety on the road.

A motorcycle lawyer in California, Michael Padway, is urging bike fans to wear an approved and suitable helmet while driving, which could reduce the 2,000 motorcyclists killed in the US every year, PR Leap reports.

In addition, increased safety may be found in a full-face helmet rather than a minimal style, in order to provide a higher amount of protection for the jaw and chin area (not forgetting your teeth, because that is likely to hurt a lot).

And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US discovered that without a helmet, bikers are three times as likely to suffer brain injuries compared to those who wear one.

So if your helmet is looking a bit worse for wear, a new one could be a perfect way to ensure safety and equip yourself with the most fashionable new style.
