The purpose of this study was to describe the pattern and severity of injury, among motorcyclists involved in RTAs, in Strathclyde Region, Scotland, during 1992. This information was required to provide insight into the nature of motorcycle accidents and their consequences, as well as to provide a basis for work on preventive measures. Ninety-six motorcyclist casualties were studied using police and medical information. Their injury information was coded according to AIS 90 and some descriptive statistics applied. Most of the casualties were young and most of them sustained more than one injury. Eight of the casualties died. The legs, arms, head and thorax were the body regions most commonly injured. Serious injury to one or both of the latter two regions, appeared to be implicated in the fatal outcomes. This study confirms that motorcycling is a 'high risk activity', and for those who wish to take that risk, protective measures of optimum standard should be regarded as priority.
本研究的目的是描述1992年期间在苏格兰斯特拉斯克莱德地区发生道路交通事故的摩托车手的受伤模式和严重程度。需要这些信息来深入了解摩托车事故的性质及其后果，并为预防措施的制定提供依据。利用警方和医疗信息对96名摩托车手伤亡者进行了研究。他们的受伤信息根据AIS 90进行编码，并应用了一些描述性统计方法。大多数伤亡者很年轻，而且大多数人不止一处受伤。其中8人死亡。腿部、手臂、头部和胸部是最常受伤的身体部位。后两个部位中一个或两个部位的严重受伤似乎与致命后果有关。本研究证实骑摩托车是一项“高风险活动”，对于那些愿意冒这种风险的人来说，应将最佳标准的防护措施视为首要任务。
