Motorcycle crashes often result in serious or fatal injuries because riders lack the structural protection of passenger vehicles. Even with protective gear, impacts with larger vehicles can lead to ejection and severe trauma. Collisions involving opposing traffic are particularly dangerous, as the combined force of impact leaves little opportunity for riders to avoid injury.
