Some would say that there is something inherently thrilling
about riding a motorcycle. Perhaps it's the agility of the bike
on the road, or the power you feel when revving the engine.
But it's also likely that this sense of danger which comes
with being exposed while riding a fast-moving vehicle comes with
knowing that being involved in any kind of accident could be
life-threatening – or life–ending.
In this blog, I discuss some of the most common motorcycle
injuries and offer some safety precautions to help prevent injury
or better protect you in the unfortunate event of an accident.
Motorcycle Accidents and Head Injuries
Motorcycle accidents that cause trauma to the head result in the
most serious injuries to riders. Their severity can range from
concussions (mild traumatic brain injuries – for more
information regarding concussions, see our blog post "Concussions Defined") to traumatic brain
injury and even death.
