Food For Thought!!
The three states with the lowest fatality rates in the country per 10,000 registered motorcycles: Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, do not have mandatory adult helmet laws.
Of the ten states with the highest fatality rates per 10,000 registered motorcycles, seven of them have universal helmet laws.
Wisconsin has the third lowest fatality rate in the country per 10,000 registered motorcycles.
Since Louisiana reinstated their helmet law in 2004, fatalities in that state have climbed to the highest levels in that state's history.
