Mystery Ride May 20
From your Chapter Educator This article was pulled from: http://motorcyclesafetynews.com/ Words By Noble McIntyre In 1966, the Highway Safety Act required states to pass mandatory helmet laws in order to receive federal highway funding. In that same year, the American National Safety Standard for Motorcycle Helmets was introduced, which set obligatory performance standards that manufacturers were required to meet. However, Congress withdrew this requirement in 1975, and as a result, many states repealed their mandatory helmet laws. Now mandatory helmet laws now vary from state to state. The Hurt Report, published in 1981, showed that most accidents involving a motorcycle occurred as a result of car drivers failing to see motorcycles. The study also showed that helmets significantly reduced the chance of death or debilitating brain injury. The MAIDS (Motorcycle Accidents in Depth Study) Report, published in 2000, showed that motorcycles were over-represented in traffic accidents, and that most motorcycle accidents involved collision with a passenger vehicle. These studies have left organizations like the Governors Highway Safety Association to encourage the implementation of helmet laws and motorcycle operator training. Many states require testing for a separate motorcycle operator s license before they can ride on a public highway. Motorcycle safety gear has grown dramatically in sophistication over the last century full airbag suits, durable materials, and even virtual heads-up displays are being developed to increase the safety and survivability of the motorcycle enthusiast. But technology can only go so far. Just as important as gear is the training, awareness, and skill needed to stay safe on a motorcycle.
