According to the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcycle
riders who do not wear helmets are 40 percent more likely
to incur fatal head injuries than riders who do. From 1984
through 1990, helmets saved the lives of more than 4,740
motorcyclists.
In
this animation, a security cart was allowed to be driven
by a fourteen year old. Neither the security officer or
the teen were wearing seatbelts or helmets. The officer
investigating the incident listed failure to control speed
as a contributing factor. The teen was injured when the
cart rolled onto it's side. Had the teen been wearing a
helmit his injuries would have most likely been minimal.
