Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
One of the main causes of mortality in motorcycle and moped accidents is **not wearing a helmet**.
- **Head injuries** are the leading cause of death in accidents involving two-wheeled vehicles. The helmet is a crucial element of **passive safety** that can save lives. In fact, three out of ten people who have an accident on a two-wheeled vehicle survive thanks to wearing a helmet.
- Motorcycle and moped accidents are more severe when drivers do not wear a helmet. This is because the helmet protects the head, reducing the risk of fatal injuries in the event of a crash or fall.
- Additionally, young people, who are a high-risk group in traffic accidents, often do not wear a helmet, which increases their vulnerability in the event of an accident.
Therefore, wearing a helmet is essential to reduce mortality in motorcycle and moped accidents.
