  • Abstract:
    In 1995, 2,221 motorcyclists were killed and an additional 55,000 were injured in traffic crashes in the United States-4 percent less than the 2,320 motorcyclist fatalities and 3 percent less than the 56,000 motorcyclist injuries reported in 1994. Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are about 16 times as likely as passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic crash and about 4 times as likely to be injured. NHTSA estimates that helmets saved the lives of 506 motorcyclists in 1995. If all motorcyclists had worn helmets, an additional 285 lives could have been saved. Helmets cannot protect the rider from most types of bodily injuries. However, a recent NHTSA study showed that motorcycle helmets are 67 percent effective in preventing brain injuries. Of the figures, Figure 1 shows previous driving records of drivers involved in fatal traffic crashes, by type of vehicle, 1995; and Figure 2 shows intoxication rates for motorcycle operators killed in traffic crashes, by time of day, 1995. Of the tables, Table 1. shows motorcyclist fatalities and injuries and fatality and injury rates, 1985-1995; and Table 2. shows motorcyclist fatalities and fatality rates by state, 1995.
