After Pennsylvania’s motorcycle helmet law was reversed, motorcyclists are no longer required to wear protective head gear. Now some California motorcyclists are trying to work towards removing California’s motorcycle helmet law, which requires the use of a helmet at all times. Some riders argue that the helmet limits the sight and hearing of the motorcycle rider, putting the rider in danger of having some type of motorcycle accident. The University of Pittsburgh performed research to analyze the effect on the number of motorcycle injuries and fatalities since the law was overturned. The conclusion was that the number of motorcycle riders that died of traumatic head injuries increased by 32%. Even with these findings Pennsylvania’s law still allows motorcyclists to ride without a helmet.
California’s helmet law requires that every motorcyclist wear a helmet at all times. However accidents still occur and often times result in a California traumatic brain injury TBI or a spinal cord injury.
