Why Can Motorcycle Crashes Cause Serious Head Injuries?
Motorcycle riders have less physical protection than people inside passenger vehicles. Even when a rider wears a helmet, a fall or vehicle contact can cause significant head trauma.
Helmets are designed to reduce the risk of severe head injuries by absorbing some of the energy from a blow. Proper fit and correct use can affect how well a helmet performs during a collision.
Other protective gear can also reduce injuries. Jackets, gloves, pants, and sturdy footwear can help protect the skin and joints during a fall. Motorcyclists can further reduce risk by maintaining safe speeds, staying visible, and leaving enough space to react to changing traffic conditions.
