Abstract

In the United Kingdom there appears to be little information concerning the prevalence and the patterns of head and of facial injuries sustained in road traffic accidents by motorcyclists wearing protective helmets. The present survey was of 56 accidents in urban traffic. Motorcyclists wearing open-face style helmets had more facial damage after accidents than those wearing full-face style helmets. Results suggest the need for research into the degree of protection against head and facial injuries offered by the various helmet styles and their constituent materials.
