The two motorcycle accidents I was personally aware of this summer
resulted in head injuries in both cases.  In each case the rider
was not wearing a helmet and also of note is that they were apparent
single vehicle caused accidents.  Grope was not the problem!

Regarding the comment implying that helmets don't provide
deceleration protection: Any one who has taken a MSF course
has learned that one of the two major features of helmets is
the deceleration capability in the helmet lining material.
