i agree with you on this needs to be made mandatory. Motorcyclists must take additional precautions to protect their bodies. The most important starting point is to protect your head.
The head and brain are most susceptible to injury from motorcycle accidents. Drivers and passengers who wear helmets greatly increase their chances of survival compared to those who don't.
In 2012, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that 1,699 lives were saved because people wore helmets. From 2008 to 2010, there were 14,283 motorcyclists killed in the United States, and 6,057 (42%) of those who died were not wearing helmets
It is important for motorcyclists to understand the risks of riding without a helmet. Drivers who don't wear helmets are at risk of experiencing traumatic brain injury in an accident. Without protection, the head is traumatically affected in an accident even at low speed.
