Abstract

A clinical analysis of motorcycle collisions in Southern California was performed to evaluate the patterns of injury, mechanisms of injury and source of injury. The injuries were found to derive from three primary sources: the motorcycle, the object struck and the surface. Different injury patterns are discussed. Certain conclusions and recommendations are drawn with respect to motorcycle modifications for injury reduction, motorcycle visibility and accident causation.
