The report analyzes the trend in motorcycle fatalities during 1976-79 based on data from NHTSA's Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS). The States that maintained a requirement for all motorcycle riders to wear helmets had relatively little increase in motorcycle fatalities. The States that repealed their helmet use laws since 1976 have experienced a significant increase in motorcycle fatalities, particularly for those riders not wearing a helmet. An increase in overall motorcycle fatalities is expected in 1980, primarily due to more fatally injured nonhelmeted riders.
