The accident is a reminder of the importance of wearing helmets while riding motorcycles.
Helmets can help to protect riders from serious head injuries in the event of an accident.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), helmets are 37% effective in preventing fatal motorcycle crashes.
Riders who wear helmets are also 69% less likely to suffer a brain injury in a crash.
The NHTSA recommends that all motorcyclists wear a helmet every time they ride.
Helmets are an essential piece of safety gear for motorcyclists, and they can help to prevent serious injuries or even death in the event of an accident.
