Why do mandatory bicycle helmet laws exist? Largely, because of head
injuries.

So, assuming that is true, then how does that not also apply to
motorcycles? It would seem to me that if head injuries on bicycles
(max speeds - 15/17 mph) occur from low speed impacts, then they would
also occurr in higher speed accidents involving motorcycles.

Do bicycle helmet laws apply to adults?
Also, I think those laws are set by the town you are in, not the Fed or
state.

I don't want to argue the injury issue, but data indicates, including the
report I cited, that although a motorcycle helmet lessens the chance of
severe head injury, that advantage is offset by an increased chance of
neck/spine injury due to whiplash.

So, choose your method.

Only a complete idiot needs data to understand that helmets reduce head
injuries in motorcycle accidents.

Let's see who raises their hand and admits to being a complete idiot.
