The U-M researchers' approach differs from that of previous studies that tallied health care costs for every victim of motorcycle crashes in a given state -- including those who died at the scene or before they reached the hospital, and therefore lowered the overall average cost of care.

Sounds to me like helmets increase health care costs. Without a helmet, frequently all the medical care required is a ride to the morgue, keeping costs down.
