2018, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Motorcycle helmets have repeatedly been shown to be neuroprotective. The literature and our data are clear that the frequency and severity of TBI in the un-helmeted motorcyclist is higher.1,5,6,9 Our data demonstrates that un-helmeted motorcycle trauma patients are more likely to require neurosurgical intervention, a result that has not previously been documented in the medical literature.

2016, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Besides, their movements are more flexible than other road users but in the meantime they are less predictable, and therefore are the most vulnerable group in traffic crashes. More detailed research found that head injury is the main cause of motorcyclist deaths and helmet use is effective prevention of driver trauma (Hefny et al., 2012; Kelly et al., 1991). Overall, motorcycles and heavy vehicles are important factors for driver injuries severities.
