The report uses earlier data to estimate the savings in casualties that could be achieved if all motorcyclists wore safety helmets, and the consequent economic benefits. In the case of riders, the economic benefits are compared with the cost of the riders, the economic benefits are compared with the cost of the necessary helmets, but no such comparison is yet possible in the case of pillion passengers because their total numbers are not known. It is estimated that if all riders had worn helmets in 1964, over 200 fatalities and over 700 serious injuries would have been prevented, and that if all pillion passengers had worn helmets, a further 60 fatalities and 200 serious injuries would have been prevented. On average, helmets bought by motor cycle and scooter riders more than pay for themselves within a year; those bought by moped riders pay for themselves, on average, in four to five years. Tables illustrating some changes in the pattern of motorcycling between 1955 and 1963 are given. (Author)
