Helmet use saves lives and reduces costs associated with motorcycle crashes according to the CDC. An estimated 1,630 lives were saved and $2.8 billion in economic costs were avoided in 2013 due to helmets. The risk of death is reduced by 37% and risk of head injury is reduced by 69% when helmets are worn.
