Countless riders, particularly commuters keep themselves
away from wearing motorcycle clothing because of cost, inconvenience, ease and
lack of knowledge. What they are unable to comprehend is that travelling at low
speeds does not mean they are not at risk of serious injury rather they have
precisely the same chances of suffering from injuries such as broken limbs and
severe skin abrasions requiring skin grafts – or worse.
Conferring to evidence gathered by Motorcycle Accidents
In-Depth Study (MAIDS), the most precise in-depth motorcycle accidents analysis
conducted so far, riders wearing appropriate protective gear are prospective to
suffer less injuries if involved in an accident. MAIDS’ injury statistics are
condensed in a gauge to demonstrate the benefits of suitable protection gear.
Protection factor for motorcycle riders in case of light or
medium jacket was 69% while for the riders who used heavy jackets, it was 92%
similarly in case of light or medium trousers protection factor was 65% and for
heavy trousers it was 96%.
