Motorcycle helmets--medical costs and the law.
Since 1975, 26 states have repealed or modified their motorcycle (M/C) helmet laws. Louisiana (LA) reinstated the M/C helmet law in 1982. The medical and financial impact of repeal in Kansas (KS), reinstatement in LA (accident, fatality, and critical injury rates) have been studied through 1987. Current FARS data and studies from KS, LA, 10 states and 5 countries are compared and reported. With...
متن کاملAttenuation of noise by motorcycle safety helmets.
For workers such as police motorcyclists or couriers, traffic and engine noise reaching the ears is an important factor contributing to the overall condition of their work. This noise can be reduced with motorcycle helmets. In this study, insertion loss of motorcycle helmets was measured with the microphone-in-real-ear technique and sound attenuation with the real-ear-at-threshold method. Resul...
متن کاملTrends in the Motorcycle Crash Problem
Motorcycle safety was a prominent public and political issue during the 1980s largely because of the dramatic increase in the number of deaths and injuries occurring at that time, commensurate with the growth in the number of vehicles and licensed riders (Simpson and Mayhew 1991). Since then, deaths and injuries have declined steadily and, as a consequence, motorcycle safety has become a relati...
متن کاملMotorcycle-wall crash: simulation and validation
This paper describes the development of the motorcycle (MC) model and validation using a MC – wall Full Scale Test (FST). Individual components like the seat, tires and shock absorbers were tested as per procedures given in ISO13232 [5] and their FE models were validated against the component test data. A crash test of the motorcycle with a rigid wall had been conducted. There is a reasonable m...
متن کاملEconomic impact of motorcycle helmets: from impact to discharge.
BACKGROUND The economic impact of helmet use remains controversial. Previous studies of injured motorcyclists suggest a marginal inpatient hospital cost difference between helmeted and unhelmeted riders. The purpose of this study was to expand the economic analysis of motorcycle helmet utilization to the point of injury by including motorcycle crash patients who do not require hospital admissio...
