Abstract

This paper reviews some aspects of trauma to motor cyclists in terms of the frequency and severity of their injuries. Data on lower limb injuries from an in-depth study of motorcyclists, show that these injuries are severe and roughly equally distributed at or above the knee and below the knee. The paper concludes that crash protective concepts, offering partial protection for the legs, are a worthwhile aim for for future motorcycle design to address.
