Some of the reasons that some riders are clinging to anti-helmet sentiments is that they are still considering the motorcycle helmets that were available in the past. Helmets today are safer and more comfortable than ever. Some commonly held myths about helmets are that they:
• Causes neck fractures in the event of an accident
• Impair a rider's sight and limit his or her field of vision
• Adversely affect a rider's ability to hear the surrounding traffic
Some motorcyclists cite the above as the basis for their reluctance to wear a helmet, but a helmet can immediately increase a rider's comfort level and offer protection from things other than the impact of a collision. A few of these benefits include:
• Reduction of wind noise which can be deafening if unchecked
• Blocking the gale force winds that directly assault your face and eyes
• Fends off insects and any flying debris such as gravel
• Offers relief from adverse weather conditions
• Lessens the degree of fatigue caused by direct exposure to the elements
