Motor cycle helmets and facial injuries

R G Vaughan

    The Medical Journal of Australia
    |January 29, 1977

    Summary

    Full-face motorcycle helmets offer superior facial injury protection compared to jet helmets. Studies show no increased crash risk for full-face helmet wearers, suggesting their wider adoption.

    Area of Science:

    • Traumatology
    • Road Safety Engineering
    • Motorcycle Safety

    Background:

    • Motorcycle helmet design has evolved, with full-face and jet types being most common.
    • Both helmet types protect the brain, but facial protection varies significantly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the effectiveness of full-face versus jet motorcycle helmets in preventing facial injuries.
    • To assess the risk of crash involvement associated with wearing full-face helmets compared to jet helmets.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of a special study focusing on traffic crash data.
    • Comparison of injury patterns and crash involvement risks between full-face and jet helmet users.

    Main Results:

    • Full-face helmets provide significantly greater protection against facial injuries than jet helmets.
    • Wearers of full-face helmets do not face a higher risk of road traffic crashes.

    Conclusions:

    • Encourage the use of full-face motorcycle helmets due to enhanced facial protection.
    • Consider revising motorcycle helmet standards to mandate facial protection features.
