That lifts the hand who, on some occasion (especially in our adolescence) we did not “goat” on the back of our motorcycle without using the helmet. Something totally normal, on the other hand, taking into account the laxity of the established laws on this issue, in past times. Something that, luckily, for those who call themselves bikers, has been changing positively in recent decades.
In any case, asserting us of our sage proverb Patrium, to the Spanish what hurts the most “is that they touch his pocket.” However, we should not be aware of the use of the helmet simply because they are afraid to end up being fined.
Rather we should get into the head, once and for all, that both the helmet and the rest of the motorcycle mounting elements (jacket, gloves, pants, etc.) are Essentialto be able to preserve our physical and intellectual integrity in case of an accident.
Nebraska, the clear example of why we should wear the helmet
Now, imagine that you live in the US, the place that their own citizens call as the country of freedoms and opportunities. Something totally true according to what aspects, although not very producing when to legislate at the rate of the mandatory use of the helmet. And if we do not take an eye on the idea (and its subsequent consequences), which the leaders of the state of Nebraska had to repeal the obligation to take the helmet to the controls of a motorcycle.
According to him Nebraska University Medical Center (UNMC)in a report carried out after the approval of this Law, with application date of January 1, 2024, throughout that year the motorcyclist figures with serious injuries due 30 % of motorcyclists did not wear a helmet in 2024.
Finally and following this string of statistics that reveal the importance of using a motorcycle helmet, as detail by the local media Kearney Hub, “The 32 deaths of motorcyclists in Nebraska that year represented an increase of 45 % compared to 2023, when 22 motorcyclists died on the state’s roads.” We assume that what should not be done, but above all that can happen to do it.
Now let’s imagine this standard applied in our country … or better yet, do not imagine it because if we cannot end up making mental short circuit. Luckily we have Pere Navarro, in the direction of the DGT, always ensuring our safety (Ironic-on).
Jokes out: put on the helmet and every time you go through your head, think of your family and how important you are for them. Perhaps so, you will be fully aware of what can happen to make bad decisions.
