At a Nigerian university hospital, none of the motorcyclists who presented over a 12 month period had been wearing a helmet, and of the eight patients who died, seven had head injuries. Of the five collision types described, the rate of motorcycle-other vehicle collisions was highest at 40.6%, while the motorcycle-pedestrian rate was 23.4%. Measures to prevent these collisions might reduce overall crashes by 64%; in addition, helmet law should be enforced.
在尼日利亚的一家大学医院,在为期12个月的时间里前来就诊的骑摩托车者都没有戴头盔,在8名死亡患者中,有7人头部受伤。在所描述的5种碰撞类型中,摩托车与其他车辆的碰撞率最高,为40.6%,而摩托车与行人的碰撞率为23.4%。预防这些碰撞的措施可能会使总体撞车事故减少64%;此外,应执行头盔法。
