| description | This study looks at cervical spine injuries sustained by motorcyclists in motorcycle road
crashes. There are hardly any studies on cervical spine injury of motorcyclists compared
to studies on injuries sustained by car passenger during crash. The motorcycle rider is
relatively more exposed to road hazards compared to a protected car passenger. They are
therefore more prone to injury than those traveling in any other form of transport. The
motorcycle is relatively less stable and accorded little protection to riders in road crashes
compared to a four-wheeled vehicle. The cause of injury and injury mechanisms are more
uncertain for a motorcyclist compared to a car driver. The objective of the present study
is to correlate the motorcycle crash mode to the cervical injury sustained by motorcyclists
in real-world scenes. The findings of the study unveiled ideas and information to safety
engineers on designing a motorcycle restrain system as injury mechanisms were predetermined.
Motorcyclists with cervical injuries admitted to the hospitals were selected
for the present investigation. The types of injury sustained were acquired from the
medical report. Information on the crash scene and crash mode was obtained from the
police report and interview session arranged with the motorcyclist involved in the crash. |
