“…; e-mail: rene.rossi@empa.ch 2008), general physiological strain (D'Artibale et al, 2008), microclimate CO 2 and O 2 levels (Iho et al, 1980;Brühwiler et al, 2005), and helmet thermal properties (Brühwiler, 2003;Buyan et al, 2006;Bogerd and Brühwiler, 2008;Pinnoji et al, 2008;Bogerd and Brühwiler, 2009). Unfavorable temperature perception and/or thermal discomfort are frequently given arguments for not wearing a motorcycle helmet (Patel and Mohan, 1993;Skalkidou et al, 1999;Li et al, 2008b), which is supported by field observations (Gkritza, 2009). Generally, a substantial fraction of riders do not wear helmets, ranging, e.g., from 7.7% (ACEM, 2004) between 1999 and 2000 for European countries, 40 -8% for the USA from 1994 to 2006 (Glassbrenner and Ye, 2006), and 25% in Taiwan between 1999 and 2001 (Keng, 2005).…”

“…O predomínio do sexo masculino é confirmado por outros autores (OLIVEIRA, 2008;SOARES, 2003;KOIZUMI, 1985;BARROS, 2008;OLIVEIRA;SOUSA, 2004;SANTOS et al, 2008;OLIVEIRA;SOUSA, 2006;COBEN;STEINER;MILLER, 2007;HAYAKAWA;FICHBECK;FISCHHOFF, 2000;HOANG et al, 2008;LI et al, 2008;BRANDT et al, 2002). Os homens não apenas são mais frequentes como motociclistas, como tendem a ser motoristas mais agressivos do que as mulheres, executando manobras mais arriscadas, com maior tendência de direção em situação prévia de consumo de álcool (DUARTE, 2000;FIGUEIREDO et al, 2005).…”

“…A mediana de idade dos acidentados foi de 25 anos e a média de 29,5 anos, sem diferença significativa entre os sexos (média de idade entre os homens de 29,8 e entre mulheres de 28,9 anos). Vários estudos nacionais e internacionais confirmam a predominância de vítimas jovens nesses tipos de acidentes (OLIVEIRA, 2008;SOARES, 2003;SILVA;ANDRADE, 2008;BARROS, 2008;OLIVEIRA;SOUSA, 2004;SANTOS et al, 2008;OLIVEIRA;SOUSA, 2006;HOANG et al, 2008;ICHIKAWA;CHADBUNCHACHAI;MARUI, 2003;LI et al, 2008;YANNIS;PAPADIMITRIOU, 2005;SERVADEI et al, 2003). Inexperiência, falta de familiaridade com as leis do trânsito e de habilidade no dirigir, dificuldade em perceber o perigo e resolver os problemas, maior tendência em dirigir com excessiva velocidade e de ingestão de álcool e/ou drogas antes da condução respondem pela elevada frequência de vítimas jovens neste tipo de acidente (MULLIN et al, 2000;SOARES, 2003;ELLIOT;BAUGHAN;SEXTON, 2007;CAIXETA et al, 2010).…”

“…Perceived limitations on visual and auditory capacities (Papadakaki et al, 2013;Hung et al, 2008;Ranney et al, 2010), subjective reports of helmet weight, and increased temperature when wearing helmets are among the reasons motorcyclists refuse to wear helmets (Li et al, 2008;Orsi et al, 2012). The inconvenience of carrying the helmet when the motocycle is parked is also seen as a deterrent to helmet use.…”
