Motorcycle crashes are associated with a high incidence of head injuries and fatalities. Helmets have been shown to decrease the risk and occurrence of both head injuries and fatalities in motorcycle crashes, along with a decrease in hospitalizations and healthcare costs. Many states have laws in place requiring all motorcyclists to wear helmets and have shown that laws directly affect these outcomes. Wisconsin is a state in which there is a law regarding helmet use; however, there are contingents. It is required only in those who are younger than 18 years and those with an instructional permit.
摩托车事故与头部受伤和死亡的高发生率相关。头盔已被证明能降低摩托车事故中头部受伤和死亡的风险及发生率，同时还能减少住院治疗和医疗费用。许多州都制定了法律，要求所有骑摩托车的人佩戴头盔，并且这些法律已表明能直接影响这些结果。威斯康星州是一个有关于头盔使用法律的州；然而，存在一些特殊情况。仅要求18岁以下的人和持有学习许可证的人佩戴头盔。
