Motorcycles have become an increasingly popular vehicle of choice for cheap transportation. Their comparatively low cost, increased fuel economy, speed, and maneuverability make them a welcome alternative to their more expensive four wheeled brethren. Aided by a struggling economy and an ever increasing cost of petroleum, motorcycles have seen a strong surge in sales over recent years, with more than 430 Corey Perry Jersey Authentic ,000 sold in 2010 alone. An unwelcome byproduct of these two wheeled vehicles however, is a dramatically increased level of danger in the event of an accident.
Statistically, motorcycle riders are thirty times more likely to be killed in a motorcycle crash when compared to automobile drivers, and in 2010, more than 4,500 riders lost their lives, along with another 82 Alexander Radulov Jersey ,000 who suffered varying degrees of injuries. According to estimates from the Government Accountability Office, such accidents can create a financial impact of as much as 16 billion dollars year. A typical fatal motorcycle accident incurs an estimated cost of $1.2 million, says the GAO, while non-fatal accidents can range in cost from $2,500 to $1.4 million.
To help bring down these substantial costs, the GAO has issued a recommendation calling for the mandatory use of motorcycle helmets, claiming that such legislation could help reduce the fatality rate in motorcycle accidents by as much as 39%. This accident prevention potential is corroborated by research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Ben Bishop Jersey , which said that motorcycle helmets prevented 1,550 deaths in 2010. Researchers from the US Center for Disease Control added that in preventing those 1,550 deaths, more than $3 billion was saved.
Despite these promising figures, motorcycle advocacy groups, like the Motorcycle Riders Foundation, are adamantly against mandatory helmet laws. In a statement released to the Associated Press Stephen Johns Jersey , MRF vice president Jeff Hennie said that the group was both fully committed to proper motorcycle safety, and to preventing the creation of any federal helmet laws, claiming that such laws would not help to reduce motorcycle fatalities. The long standing goal of the foundation, so says the foundation itself, has been to promote education and training for motorcycle riders, though the high accident rate and increase number of motorcyclists on the road suggests that such measures are not enough to provide adequate safety into the future.
