TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - After helmets - is there anything else? JO - Proceedings of the International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Injury conference A1 - Pedder, J.b. A1 - Newman, James A. SP - 43 EP - 57 VL - 15 IS - N2 - Helmets remain the primary protective device available to motorcyclists. Their effectiveness in reducing the incidence and severity of head injuries has been clearly demonstrated in a number of field accident studies. Increasing attention is now being given to the potential and design of other protective devices: in particular, leg shields or guards and protective clothing. This paper is a review and evaluation of the development and current status of such protective features. Special attention is given to the difficulties of interpolating existing motorcycle accident data for the development and evaluation of such features. (Author/TRRL)
