TTI’s Thinking Transportation Podcast
Motorcyclists love the freedom of the open road. But freedom isn’t free, and sometimes the price incautious riders pay after a crash is severe brain injury or even death; both, the statistics tell us, are avoidable by wearing a helmet certified by testing. Outfitting with appropriate riding gear is key to maximizing the odds of — literally — walking away from a motorcycle crash. Today, we talk to Hong Zhang, director of education for the Snell Foundation — a leading national nonprofit dedicated to setting the most effective helmet safety standards — and TTI’s Cathy Brooks, project specialist in the Institute’s Road User Safety Program. | For more information on the Snell Foundation
