Motorcycle Accident Injuries and What Safety Measures Can Help Reduce Injuries

Motorcycle accident injuries can be reduced by wearing protective gear while riding. While, wearing a motorcycle helmet while riding reduces a motorcyclist’s risk of head trauma, however only by a certain percent. According to CDC wearing a helmet lowers the risk of a head injury by estimated 69 percent and lowers the risk of death by estimated 37 percent. California has motorcycle helmet laws which riders are required to follow. Even when rider wears a helmet, serious head injuries can still occur.

Is Laying Down Your Motorcycle a Good Idea?

The only real reason to lay down your motorcycle is if you are almost certain that you will not be able to stop your bike in time and you have nowhere to swerve to avoid the accident. In other words, if swerving out of the way or hitting your breaks is not an option because you believe that even more serious consequences will results, laying down your motorcycle would be a good choice in this type circumstance.

Motorcycle Safetey Measures Maximize Success Rate for Swerving or Stopping

Successful, rapid stopping is best accomplished by quickly applying both the front and rear brakes at the same time. If doing so results in your front wheel locking, then at that point you have to rapidly disengage the brake before firmly reapplying pressure to the rear brake. On the other hand, if your rear wheel locks up as opposed to the front wheel, then it is best to allow it to remain locked and kee[ applying the brakes until you have completely stopped.
