Question:
An article in the New York Times considered the question of whether motorcyclists should be required by law to wear helmets. In supporting his argument for no helmets, the editor of a magazine for Harley-Davidson bikers presented the results of one study that claimed “nine states without helmet laws had a lower fatality rate (3.05 deaths per 10,000 motorcycles) than those that mandated helmets (3.38)” and a survey that found “of 2,500 bikers at a rally, 98% of the respondents opposed such laws.” Based on this information, do you think it is safer to ride a motorcycle without a helmet? What further statistical information would you like?
