Hello bikers, i would like to know some statistics for my technology research;

What percentage of bikers/accidents suffer spinal or neurological injuries?

What type of accidents/percentages occur? Preferably a data table or a pie chart which shows the composition of causes and the victims... I read an article on Bike regarding it, but i can't remember where i put it Sad

How many of you actually know of somebody that had an "off" and consequently suffered neurological injuries? I'm interested as i may be able to consult them with regards to my project. As i mentioned previously, all of your effort and support WILL be credited in my report! Thumbs Up

Could be worth having a look on the Headway site or contacting them for finding out about bikers and neurological injuries. Thumbs Up

A US site about Traumatic Brain Injuries, not too sure about the relevance to bikers though

Another US site with more relevance to bikes

Final one - "The first complete European in-depth study of motorcycle accidents." Says it all really but you have to register, but it looks like it's free.

Hope this helps you out Titot Very Happy
