Why Are Motorcycle Crashes Often More Severe?
Motorcycles provide less physical protection than enclosed vehicles, leaving riders more exposed during a collision. Even when a motorcycle is traveling at moderate speed, a sudden stop can throw a rider from the bike or cause contact with another vehicle or the road.
Protective gear can help reduce certain injuries. Helmets are designed to protect the head, while jackets, gloves, pants, and sturdy footwear can provide added protection to other parts of the body.
Large trucks can present additional hazards for motorcyclists because of their size and weight. Maintaining space between motorcycles and trucks can provide riders with more time to react to sudden changes in traffic.
