Not in my state!
A helmet can save your life!
A helmet can kill you!
The real risk is the combination of a motorcycle and a human!
We had 1,400 deaths last year in a 1.2 million state, almost all to head injuries!
The only good thing I guess, if they want to kill themselves, they make good organ donors!

18 and under should be required to wear a helmet. Over 18 should not be. Same with seatbelts. Nanny laws should not be in existence. If you are stupid enough to not wear a seatbelt or helmet, then that is just natures way of weeding out the flock. But no, nanny government steps in and lets the people who normally would have stuck a fork in a light socket reproduce with other morons and create a super moron race. It is called survival of the fittest.

Most states do have a helmet law, but If after an accident you could get up and scrape your brains off the black top the Law may not be requiered.

Check your state law, if it sas you dont have to then you dont have to. Some states require a bond to drive without a helmet so make sure before you ride. Ignorance of the law isnt an excuse. Know it before you drive it!

The laws are different from state to state - or even local ordinances will override lenient state laws, sometimes.
In Florida you have to wear a helmet if you are 16 or under to ride a bicycle. You do not have to wear one to ride a motorcycle.

Depends on the state. Utah doesn't require helmets. They have a special vacuum for cleaning up your brains when you spill them.

More than likely yes if you want to be sure call the local police department and ask. If its a law or ordinance than there is a fine to pay when your caught.

It's a State law that varies from state to state.
In Maryland, YES...you are required to wear a hlmet when riding a bicycle or motorcycle. (even a moped if it is over 50cc's)
