Unhelmeted motorcyclists are three times more likely than helmeted riders to become organ donors
But apparently they didn’t see much change in numbers after the repeal of a helmet law. Probably because those that died when it was mandatory to wear a helmet broke the law and drove without helmet anyway, at least at the time of their death.
Even in non helmet states, people increased use of helmets.
I’m an organ donor and rider. I always wear a helmet. Fwiw
Yeah but the study says that helmet is keeping you from actually donating
I also refuse to drink and ride
What I’m hearing is you’re not really an organ donor, you just have a virtue signal on your driver’s license
Because I ride safely and don’t take unnecessary risks?
Yeah it’s like you intend on keeping those organs as long as you can instead of putting yourself and others at risk to ensure others get your organs asap
Guilty as charged, I guess
Can I have your liver?
You wouldn’t want it, lol
If you want to be an organ donor, you have to take care of that stuff!
Most people ask for the penis.
Did we really need a study to make this conclusion? Well done Dr. Obvious and Dr. Duh.
"Practical Application: Unhelmeted motorcyclists are three times more likely than helmeted riders to become organ donors, possibly due to the well documented increase in severe traumatic brain injuries in this population. "
