Driving Safely To Avoid Accidents
Motorcycles are more prone to accidents as well as fatalities. The accidents are caused due to other vehicles or obstructions coming in its path or riders error. A major risk is concussion and brain damage due to violent head injury. Injury to the chin is also common. This can be reduced sharply when the rider and the pillion rider wears head protection gear that is as per approved standards. Other main forms of injuries are breakage of joints such as shoulders, elbows, knees, hips and wrists, spine, neck and fingers. Shoulder and pelvis injuries are the most common. These injuries can be minimized, if not prevented, by using extra padding in jackets and pants at vulnerable joint regions. The extra padding can be either foam padding or dual density foam.
