abstract="<p>This article examines the use of different kinds of leather clothing and the protective effect it has for motorcyclists. Data were obtained by a questionnaire survey in which 131 motorcycle drivers responded out of 174 involved in an accident where injuries were sustained. Results indicate that leather clothing protects motorcycle drivers from soft tissue damage. Statistically significant results were obtained for leather trousers and gloves. The need is seen for further study to improve the protective effect of jackets and boots and to develop new shock absorbing materials for shoulders, elbows and wrists.</p>",
