HELMET LAW
~~ August 31, 2004 ~~ Nearly a year after Pennsylvania's motorcycle
helmet law was repealed, experts say it is too soon to tell definitively
whether the repeal has caused a spike in motorcycle injuries and deaths.
In the first four months that helmets became optional for riders 21 and
older, deaths among helmetless riders more than doubled, from six to 15,
compared with the year-ago period. Fatalities among riders wearing helmets
dropped 28 percent, from 25 to 18.
But state and federal transportation officials say it's still too early
to tie repeal of the law to deaths caused by a lack of head protection.
