The distributions of motorcycle crash impacts and injuries were compared to the four impact risk zones and protective performance specified in the European Standard for motorcycle clothing (EN 13595).
Crashed motorcyclists' (n=117) injuries and clothing damage were categorized by body area into the four risk zones. Three levels of protection were defined: protective clothing with impact protection, protective clothing only and non-protective clothing.
The distribution of impact/injury sites corresponded to the predictions of EN 13595, with the proportion of all injuries decreasing from 43.9% in Zone 1, to 18.0%, 16.7%, and 11.5% in Zones 2 to 4, respectively. Protective clothing modified the distribution of injuries with substantially more injuries (OR=2.69, 95% CL: 20.1-3.59) at unprotected impact sites.
These findings support an appropriate framework for determining performance specifications for the manufacture of motorcycle clothing that will effectively reduce the risk of injury in crashes.
将摩托车碰撞冲击和伤害的分布与欧洲摩托车服装标准(EN 13595)中规定的四个冲击风险区域和防护性能进行了比较。
根据身体区域将碰撞摩托车手(n=117)的伤害和服装损坏分为四个风险区域。定义了三个防护级别:具有冲击保护的防护服装、防护服装和非防护服装。
冲击/伤害部位的分布与 EN 13595 的预测相符,所有伤害的比例从第 1 区的 43.9%,分别降至第 2 区至 4 区的 18.0%、16.7%和 11.5%。防护服装改变了伤害的分布,在未受保护的冲击部位,伤害明显更多(OR=2.69,95%CL:20.1-3.59)。
这些发现支持了为制造摩托车服装制定性能规范的适当框架,这将有效地降低事故中受伤的风险。
