This module provides the user with background material on why helmets are needed. Such information is important in persuading political leaders and the public to support a helmet programme. The sections in this module are structured as follows: 1.1 Many people around the world die in motorcycle collisions: The module begins by describing the magnitude of the problem of motorcycle crashes, and resulting head injuries. It explains the global distribution of the problem, noting that if present trends continue, many low-income and middle-income countries are likely to experience an increase in the number of motorcycle crashes in the near future. The section describes how head injuries that result from motorcycle collisions are a leading cause of death and disability. 1.2 A helmet protects your head: This section describes what can happen to the head in the event of a motorcycle or bicycle collision. It then goes on to explain the physical components of a helmet and the way in which they reduce the impact of a collision. This section also describes how helmets are designed to meet certain requirements. 1.3 Helmet use is effective at reducing head injuries: This section summarizes the evidence from studies that have evaluated the effectiveness of helmets in reducing death and injury. 1.4 Helmet programmes are effective at getting helmets on heads: Introducing legislation on helmet use has been shown to be effective in increasing helmetwearing rates and reducing head injuries, as summarized in this section. As mentioned in the Introduction, this manual is focused on how to increase helmet use among motorcycle users. The increasing use of motorized two-wheelers, and the high speed at which motorcycles can travel compared to bicycles, means that the primary audience of this manual will be those seeking to increase motorcycle helmet use. Nonetheless, it is assumed that much of the technical guidance that is provided in the text will be equally relevant, and can be applied easily, to those seeking to introduce a helmet programme for bicycle users. 1.1 Many people around the world die in motorcycle collisions Road traffic injuries are a major public health problem and a leading cause of death and injury around the world. Each year nearly 1.2 million people die as a result of road crashes, and millions more are injured or disabled (1). In many low-income and middle-income countries, where motorcycles and bicycles are an increasingly common means of transport, users of two-wheelers make up a large proportion of those • • • • Module 1: Why are helmets needed? injured or killed on the roads. Motorcycle and bicycle riders are at an increased risk of being involved in a crash. This is because they often share the traffic space with fast-moving cars, buses and trucks, and also because they are less visible. In addition, their lack of physical protection makes them particularly vulnerable to being injured if they are involved in a collision. In most high-income countries, motorcycle fatalities typically comprise around 5% to 18% of overall traffic fatalities (2,3). This proportion reflects the combined effect of several important factors including the relatively low ownership and use of motorcycles in many developed countries, and the relatively high risk of these motorcycles being involved in crashes involving fatalities. Typically, these risks are much higher for motorcycle than for vehicle travel (4). In low-income and middle-income countries, car ownership and use rates are gener
