Unfortunately a lot of motorcyclists don't bother to take the courses offered by the MSF.

And many motorcyclists don't wear a full face helmet, or any helmet at all because Florida doesn't require them. According to a study done in Sweden I believe, you have about a 60% chance of landing on your chin on a spill. After my son had an accident and his full face helmet had a tire track from his bike going over his chin, over his faceshield and then over the forehead I ditched my 3/4 helmet and only use full face.
