From the page right before that: Quote:
Numbers of fatalities (helmeted or not) in a state are meaningless without knowing the total population of riders. I don't understand why NHTSA never seems to put the important numbers in their charts... |

The real take away is page 4, 42% of deaths were drunk

If they were on their way back from an ABATE rally, they probably wouldn't have a lid and would have survived.

Looking at that chart I noticed the numbers were all over the place. I'd guess that states that had such a high number of deaths of motorcyclists wearing helmets, are probably states that require helmets. The numbers at the bottom are totals of all states combined. With some states requiring the use of helmets, that chart does't prove squat about whether or not the helmet saved or cost the rider his life.
