We recently honored Alexander Gordon and Venson Roberson with Saved by the Helmet awards at the Dayton Blessing of the Bikes. Both survived serious crashes thanks to their helmets. Their stories remind us how crucial helmet use is for every rider on Ohio’s roads.

This weekend, MO gave Hunter Dietz a Saved by the Helmet award at the Mentor Public Library. In 2025, he survived a head-on crash at 35 mph with no head trauma thanks to his helmet. We’re proud to honor his resilience and highlight the life‑saving importance of wearing a helmet.

Keenen’s story is a reminder of how quickly life can change. His family shares a powerful message for every motorcycle rider and every driver: get trained, keep your distance, slow down, and always wear your helmet.
