Motorcycle Safety Begins With the Right Gear

A10 www.eaglevalleynews.com

Wednesday, July 17, 2013 Eagle Valley News

In 1990, rock star Billy Idol suffered a serious motorcycle crash that left him bedridden for 6 months. Idol nearly lost a leg and was temporarily paralyzed from the waist down.

The singer reportedly wasn’t wearing a helmet. Despite his accident and long recovery, rumors suggest that Idol still prefers to ride without a helmet.

Most riders who go without a helmet aren’t so lucky.

To non-riders, an often overlooked part of motorcycle safety is the gear needed to keep a rider protected.

Although many riders find gear to be heavy or cumbersome, it is essential to protect the body against impact with the road or other vehicles.

Other safety equipment ensures a rider has adequate visibility and protection from

the elements.

There are different pieces of gear motorcycle riders should wear whenever they ride.

These include:

off the balance of the bike and add weight, two factors that may be different from what the rider is used to.

Before taking another passenger out for a spin, riders should be extremely experienced in handling the bike and proficient in all controls and safety maneuvers.

Here are some other safety tips motorcycle riders can heed.

intersections.

seen.

• Use signals whenever appropriate.

• Avoid sudden braking or turning.

• Avoid driving during inclement weather.

• Maintain distance vehicles.

• Helmets: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that motorcycle helmets reduce the likelihood of crash fatality by 37 percent. Helmets protect the head and brain from debilitating injuries.

It’s important to choose a helmet that is certified by the Department of Transportation or the local governing body.

Proper fit and design can ensure even more efficacy of a helmet.

• P r o t e c t i v e eyewear: Visibility and the ability to react to one’s surroundings are some of a motorcycle rider’s best assets.

Imagine trying to see with 50 mph winds

drawing tears from the eyes and dirt and insects blinding a person? Goggles and other safety glasses protect the eyes from the elements and any debris.

event of a wipe-out is akin to dragging skin on a power sander.

A durable leather jacket and pants or chaps will keep the body covered and protected.

• Boots: Boots ensure a rider’s feet are secured to the pedals and pegs while protecting the shins against pebbles and other road kickup.

• Ear plugs: Loud pipes may save lives, but they can also damage delicate hearing, as can wind noise at high speeds.

The smart rider protects his hearing with ear plugs that will muffle sounds on the road. Just be sure to check local laws.

There may be rules about ear protection to ensure that the rider still can hear noises like horns and other alerts while riding.

• Padded gloves: When falling, a person instinctively throws his hands out to break the fall.

Uncovered palms and wrists could suffer injury from abrasive roadways. That’s why padded gloves with wrist supports can offer another measure of protection.

• Jackets and pants: It may seem enticing to hit the bike with a T-shirt and shorts, especially when the weather is warm. But coming in contact with asphalt in the

Having all the right gear only will protect a rider if it is worn all the time. Don’t take risks, even on short joy rides or a trip to the convenience store. Most accidents occur within a mile from home.

Motorcycle Safety Prevents Accidents M

o t o r c y c l e accidents are often attributed to lack of rider skill. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that there are roughly 4 million registered motorcycle riders on American roadways.

There may be many others who are unlicensed who still hop on a motorcycle as a preferred mode of transportation.

NHTSA statistics indicate that motorcycle fatalities make up around 5 percent of all traffic fatalities.

Eighty percent of motorcycle accidents result in injury or death, compared to the roughly 20 percent of other vehicles. That’s due to the minimal protection the vehicle provides. This further emphasizes the necessity to properly and safely operate a motorcycle to avoid accidents in the first place.

Riding safely first involves purchasing a bike that is the right size and power for the rider. Larger bikes can be heavy and riders who are small in stature may not be able to maneuver or lift the motorcycle should it fall over. Also, riders should choose bikes that fit their lifestyles.

For instance, atrail bike will not be safe on a highway.

It is a good idea to enroll in a motorcycle safety course if this is a rider’s first experience with a bike. This course will give invaluable tips regarding maneuvering, learning about operating the cycle, defensive driving techniques and other tips specific to motorcycles. For example, intersections are one place on a roadway where many accidents take place.

Bike riders should try to enter an intersection with a larger vehicle on the right of the motorcycle or at least

in the left-most lane to provide a space cushion from oncoming traffic.

Of course, protective clothing and equipment are essential to minimize injuries if an accident should occur. Helmets, goggles, boots, long pants, jackets, and the like should be worn at all times. Injuries can often be prevented with protective gear, but many riders still don’t embrace such gear.

Another important safety tip is to recognize that traveling with another passenger is much more difficult to do than riding alone. A passenger can throw

• Treat other motorists with courtesy.

• Do not tailgate.

• Do not cut through the middle of lanes or pass cars on the right while traffic is stopped.

• Be especially alert at

• Assume the motorcycle is invisible to other drivers; position yourself to be

a safe between

• Use headlights during nighttime and daytime hours.

* Watch the road surface to anticipate potential hazards.

Following safe driving methods helps prevent motorcyclerelated accidents, injuries and death.
