From main article: 

Some 80% of those deaths involved motorbikes while 90% were caused by head injuries as a result of people not wearing a helmet,” she said.
 
And the danger bracket identified was 15-30 year olds, those that believe they are immortal and who also believe wearing a helmet isn't cool.
Good luck with persuading them otherwise.
