From 1982 to 1987 79 bodies of motorcycle riders have been dissected. Accident investigations by police proved, that 33 of them used protective helmets in the moment of accident, 40 of the victims were unhelmeted. In case of 6 accidents police investigations could not assign victims to one of those groups definitely. Our study demonstrates the change in injury patterns of the craniocervical region before and after introduction of liability for using protective helmets. We could determine, that the establishment of this law resulted in a significant recession of serious skull and brain injuries. On the other side we found a coincidental increase regarding injuries of craniocervical location, but mostly without fatal consequence.
1982年至1987年期间，对79名摩托车骑手的尸体进行了解剖。警方的事故调查证明，其中33人在事故发生时佩戴了防护头盔，40名受害者未戴头盔。在6起事故中，警方调查无法明确将受害者归入上述任何一组。我们的研究表明了在实行佩戴防护头盔义务前后颅颈区域损伤模式的变化。我们可以确定，这项法律的制定导致严重颅骨和脑损伤显著减少。另一方面，我们发现颅颈部位的损伤巧合地有所增加，但大多没有致命后果。
