Why Can Motorcycle and Car Crashes Cause Serious Rider Injuries?
Motorcyclists have far less physical protection than people inside passenger vehicles. During an impact, a rider may be thrown from the bike or make direct contact with the car, pavement, or nearby objects.
The head, chest, spine, arms, and legs can all be vulnerable. Even when protective gear is worn, the body may still absorb significant force in a collision.
Travel speed, contact angle, helmet use, roadway conditions, and the rider’s position can all influence injury severity. Medical evaluation may be needed to identify fractures, concussion, internal trauma, or other injuries that are not immediately obvious.
