Fairly old study that I don't recall seeing before. Some findings are intuitive and some not so much so, in fact a bit surprising. Caution, requires a bit of reading for just the summary on this web page.

Just heard a blip on TV this week that a study showed little difference in fatalities in MC crashes above 13 MPH between helmeted and non-helmeted riders and that in some cases neck injuries were increased in helmeted riders. I may have not heard it right, but I think that was the jist. I don't think it will stop me from wearing a helmet, but sitting at a yard sale (the wife dragged me into it) on 62 between Gateway and Eureka Springs last week convinced me that 80 to 90 percent of the Harley riders believed it.
