A retrospective study was carried out on all motorcycle injuries occurring at Mondelo Park racetrack for the 1983 and 1984 seasons. In this sport there were a total of 57 injuries for the two year period, 27 occurring in 1983 and 30 in 1984. Soft tissue injuries accounted for 66.7%, fractures 22.8% and head injuries 10.5% of the total. In the fracture group, 2 patients suffered spinal fractures which is noteworthy in that neither were wearing back protectors which as yet are not compulsory safety equipment in Eire. These figures were compared with data from the same two year period on the Ulster road circuit. The incidence of each type of injury was similar and equally low in both groups. Motorcycle racing injuries compared favourably with motor car racing injuries and had a lower incidence of serious head injury. In comparison with road traffic accidents involving motorcyclists the overall number of injuries, the number of serious head, abdominal and chest injuries and the overall fatality rate, are much lower. The two most relevant factors in our lower injury incidence were lack of alcohol and the absence of collision with cars. Experience, medical attention and speed had no direct influence on our injury incidence.
对1983年和1984赛季在蒙德洛公园赛道发生的所有摩托车损伤进行了一项回顾性研究。在这项运动中，两年期间共有57起损伤，其中1983年发生27起，1984年发生30起。软组织损伤占总数的66.7%，骨折占22.8%，头部损伤占10.5%。在骨折组中，有2名患者发生脊柱骨折，值得注意的是，两人均未佩戴背部保护器，而在爱尔兰，背部保护器尚未作为强制性安全装备。将这些数据与同一两年期阿尔斯特公路赛道的数据进行了比较。两组中每种损伤类型的发生率相似且同样较低。摩托车赛车损伤与汽车赛车损伤相比有优势，严重头部损伤的发生率较低。与涉及摩托车手的道路交通事故相比，损伤总数、严重头部、腹部和胸部损伤的数量以及总死亡率都要低得多。我们较低损伤发生率的两个最相关因素是没有饮酒以及没有与汽车相撞。经验、医疗救治和速度对我们的损伤发生率没有直接影响。
