Its like showing a chart showing only seatbelt usage and fatalities. You would have to make the assumption that usage would have made a difference in outcome. "Helmeted rider traveling at high rate of speed collided with dump truck and died" Well if he wasn't wearing a helmet then he would have lived!!! |

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
