I researched this a few years ago for a law class. I remember the number was around 15,000[1].

I think it's pretty clear-cut in the case of seat-belts and helmets. Paternalistic laws do work.

I don't see anything here about helmets. Not sure how to wear a seat belt on a scooter or a bicycle. Did you read my comment? Safety first "works" if you don't want to do anything.
