Wearing helmet helps to protect your life and protect your head from danger. The head and brain is the most vulnerable to injury in a motorcycle accident. Drivers and passengers wearing helmets increase their chances of survival over non-helmet wearers. Riders who do not wear helmets are at risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury, if they are in accident. Brain trauma often results in spinal cord injuries and disability that requires extended care and physical therapy. The damaged brain may deteriorate after hospitalization and die days to weeks after the injury due to secondary injury.
