Why Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents Can Still Cause Serious Harm
Bicycle and pedestrian accidents may seem less severe than motor vehicle crashes, but they can still lead to painful injuries. A person on foot has little time to brace when struck, especially near a busy road or crossing point.
Even a lower-speed bicycle collision can cause a fall. That fall may lead to head pain, broken bones, cuts, or joint injuries. The risk can be higher for older adults or anyone who lands hard on pavement.
Street corners and highway crossings can also create confusion, as pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles may all be moving through the same space. Clear sight lines, careful speed, and predictable movement can reduce the chance of contact between people walking and riding.
