Abstract

Motorcyclists having fallen off their motorcycles are especially endangered if they impact on guard-rails. Accident analyses show that two of three motorcyclists who impact on guard-rails are severely injured. Suitable measures to protect fallen motorcyclists from impact on posts are lower W-beams or impact attenuates around the posts.
