Abstract

Recent research on motorcycle accidents reported that contemporary crash bar use was essentially without effect in reducing leg injuries. New trends in improved data show: 1. ankle and foot injuries are less frequent on crash bar-equipped motorcycles but severe lower leg, knee and thigh injuries are more freguent and 2. severe leg injuries are less frequent on crach bar-equipped motorcycles in single vehicle accidents but more frequent in multiple vehicle accidents.
