Motorcyclists contribute significantly to road trauma around the world through the high incidence of serious injuries and fatalities. The role of roadside safety barriers in such trauma is an area of growing concern amongst motorcyclists, road authorities and road safety researchers and advocates. This paper presents a case series analysis of motorcyclists that were fatally injured following a collision with a roadside barrier during the period 2001-2006 in Australia and New Zealand. Injury profiles and severities are detailed, and associations with crash characteristics are investigated. It is shown that the thorax region had the highest incidence of injury and the highest incidence of maximum injury in fatal motorcycle-barrier crashes, followed by the head region. This is in contrast to fatal motorcycle crashes in all single- and multi-vehicle crash modes, where head injury predominates. The injury profiles of motorcyclists that slid into barriers and those that collided with barriers in the upright posture were similar. However, those that slid in were more likely to receive thorax and pelvis injuries.
摩托车手通过严重受伤和死亡的高发率，在全球范围内对道路创伤做出了重大贡献。路边安全护栏在这种创伤中的作用是摩托车手、道路当局和道路安全研究人员和倡导者越来越关注的一个领域。本文介绍了 2001 年至 2006 年间澳大利亚和新西兰发生的一起摩托车手与路边护栏碰撞后死亡的病例系列分析。详细介绍了损伤情况和严重程度，并调查了与碰撞特征的关联。结果表明，胸部区域的受伤发生率最高，致命性摩托车-护栏碰撞中最高损伤发生率最高，其次是头部区域。这与所有单一和多车辆碰撞模式中的致命性摩托车碰撞形成对比，头部损伤更为常见。滑入护栏的摩托车手和以直立姿势与护栏碰撞的摩托车手的损伤情况相似。然而，那些滑入护栏的人更有可能受到胸部和骨盆受伤。
