Motorcycle Helmets

Facts

• Wearing the proper motorcycle helmet saves lives and reduces concussions and other head injuries.
• (적절한 모터사이클 헬멧을 쓰는 것은 생명을 구하고 뇌진탕과 여타 다른 머리부상을 줄입니다.)

• In 2015, 1,772 motorcyclists nationwide were saved by wearing their helmets.
• 2015년 모터사이클 헬멧을 쓰는 것으로 전국에서 1,772명의 바이커가 생명을 구할 수 있었습니다,) 

• Motorcycle helmets are estimated to be 37fective in preventing fatal injuries to motorcycle riders and 42fective for passengers.
• (운전자에 대한 치명적 부상을 방지하는데에 헬멧이 37% , 탑승자의 경우 42% 효과적인 것으로 평가되었습니다.)

• Helmets are 67fective in preventing brain injuries in crashes; riders without helmets are three times more likely to have a brain injury as a result of a crash than helmeted riders.²
• (헬멧은 67%의 뇌 부상을 막아주는 효과가 있고, 헬멧을 쓰지 않은 라이더는 헬멧을 쓴 라이더보다 3배 이상 뇌 부상을 당할 확률이 높습니다.)

• Head injury is the leading cause of death in motorcycle crashes.²
• (머리 부상은 모터사이클 사고에서 가장 많이 사망을 야기합니다.)

• Helmet use resulted in a savings of approximately $19.5 billion in economic costs from 1984 to 2002. If all motorcyclists had worn helmets during this time period, an additional $14.8 billion would have been saved.²
• (헬멧의 사용으로 인해 1984년부터 2002년까지 약 195조 원 이상의 경제적 비용이 절약되었습니다. 만약 모든 모터사이클 이용자가 헬멧을 썼었다면 148조 원 의 추가적인 비용이 절약되었을 것입니다.)

• NYS law requires the use of motorcycle helmets for both drivers and passengers. Protective eyewear is also required. Helmets and eye protection are also required for Class A and B mopeds, those with a top speed of 20 mph or more.
• (뉴욕주 법률은 모터사이클 운전자와 동승자에게 헬멧을 쓰도록 규정합니다. 눈을 보호하는 보안경 역시 요구됩니다. 헬멧과 보안경은 클래스 A와 B의 모패드에게도 역시 요구됩니다. 이런 모패드들은 최고시속이 32km/h 이상이거나 더 높습니다.)

• According to NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law, Section 381, requires helmets to meet federal motor vehicle safety standards, section 571.218. Look for the US DOT sticker on the helmet to identify ones that meet the standard.
• (뉴욕주의 법률에 따르면 헬멧은 연방안전규정을 충족시켜야합니다.-- 불라불라)

• 'Novelty' helmets do not meet the required standard, and, therefore, do not provide sufficient protection.
• ('노벨티' 헬멧은 안전규정을 충족시키지 못하며 충분한 방어력을 제공하지 않습니다. - 할리아재들 쓰는 그거)

• All helmets [legally] sold in the U.S. must meet the US DOT and Consumer Product Safety Commission Standards. The Snell Memorial Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization that conducts independent testing on helmets that have been certified by these other agencies. In order to be Snell certified, a helmet must pass more rigorous safety inspections. For more information about the Snell standards, review the Standard for Protective Headgear

• The diagrams below show the impact areas on crash-involved motorcycle helmets. (Source: Dietmar Otte, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, Abteilung Verkehrsunfallforschung, Germany.) Notice the significant crash impact in the chin-bar area. Utilizing an open face (3/4) helmet or a "shorty" (1/2) helmet limits the protection that could be available to your head.

The same study is quoted in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation rider safety courses.
