A series of 14 motorcycle crash tests using 50% anthropometric dummy riders has been performed. The dummy rider was instrumented with either 11 or 13 accelerometers. Five high-speed movie cameras were used to record the crash event. The report presents results from the trsts including identification of hazardous aspects of current motorcycle design and accident configurations, data on the mechanisms of head injury in motorcycle accidents, particular hazards presented to the motorcyclist by automobile design, and guidelines for safety performance standards for motorcycles and their components.
