Abstract

The accident and injury situations of 614 two- wheel users are described, and cognitions from accident simulation tests are additionally evaluated with dummies. Throwing distances of two- wheelers and riders reveal the characteristics of the movement kinematic, in relation to impact speeds. Head impact points are described in detail and sustained injuries are recorded, divided into type and severity.
