While motorcycling offers riders a sense of freedom, riding a motorcycle doesn’t offer the structural protection that a motor vehicle does to keep riders safe in the event of a crash. That’s why motorcyclists need to get special rider training and wear special gear to protect their bodies and make them more visible. In a motorcycle crash, the best protection for your brain is by wearing a DOT-compliant motorcycle helmet. Motorcyclists and their passengers wearing DOT-compliant helmets increase their chances of survival significantly over non-helmet and/or vanity helmet wearers.
