Motorcycle injuries in 2007 totaled 103,000 people. Further, in 2007, there were 5,154 motorcyclists killed. Unfortunately, this number represents a 7% increase in fatalities from 2006. Perhaps even more unfortunately, the lives of 800 additional motorcyclists could have been saved had the occupants been wearing helmets. As of 2007, only 20 states required the use of helmets by motorcyclists. It was projected that the use of helmets were a factor in saving over 1,700 lives in 2007.

It is estimated that motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to die in a traffic crash than passenger car occupants. Remaining aware of your surroundings and riding with safety in mind are critical components to ensuring security on a motorcycle. Here are a few preventative measures that you can take to ensure your safety as either a motorcycle operator or passenger:

• Obey the rules of the road; many motorcycle accidents occur due to speeding and because of the lack of motorcycle visibility, this often leads to fatalities.
• Ensure your visibility to others on the road; wear appropriate clothing and exercise the use of headlight(s).
• Wear a helmet; although it might not be required in all states, a helmet can result in the matter of life or death.
• Maintain lengthier distances from surrounding vehicles; keeping distance can help to reduce accident potential.

If you find yourself involved in a motorcycle accident, whether you are a passenger, operator, or witness, be sure to immediately contact medical assistance as well as to phone your local police station. Be sure to retrieve the personal information of all parties involved in the accident and to take photos, if you're able to do so.
