Position Statement on MOTORCYCLE HELMET LAWS

Position Statement
The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), AANS/CNS Section on Neurotrauma and Critical Care and the ThinkFirst National Injury Prevention Foundation have a core mission to prevent and mitigate traumatic brain and spine injury. We thereby endorse universal motorcycle helmet laws for all motorcyclists in all states and oppose efforts of any state to repeal any universal motorcycle law currently in effect. Further, we urge states that have either repealed their universal helmet laws or have modified their laws to cover only a subgroup of riders with a partial motorcycle helmet requirement, to reinstate universal motorcycle helmet laws.
