Do you ride a motorcycle or ATV in Arizona? Do you wear a helmet regularly? Are you aware of Arizona helmet laws? The situation can be confusing because there is no national standard. If you move around the country, you could be breaking a law in one state but cross that state line and then you could be in compliance.<\/p>\n
Across the United States, there are 3 conditions regarding helmets and riding on motorcycles, ATVs and scooters e.g. nineteen states have an all-rider helmet law, two states have no helmet laws and the other states have limited helmet laws, usually centered on the age of the rider.<\/p>\n

Recently, Bill 2052<\/a> was introduced that would mandate everyone wear a helmet who rides these vehicles, but it did not pass despite a concerted effort on behalf of the health community.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Arizona helmet law or helmet use is not always accepted by every motorcycle rider. The statistics are clear; helmets save lives. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Highway Loss Data Institute<\/a>, helmets prevent death in 37% of accidents and brain injury in 67% of the cases.<\/p>\nHow Prevalent are Injuries and Death?<\/h4>\n
