Vienna University of Technology Motorcycle Accidents Case Studies - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Vienna University of Technology Motorcycle Accidents – Case Studies and What to Learn From Them Horst Ecker Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria Int. Motorcycle Safety Conference, Long Beach, March 28-30, 2006

What’s ahead … • Introduction • Case 1 – Motorcycle & Car • Case 2 – Motorcycle & Bicycle • Case 3 – Motorcycle & Object • Conclusions March 28, 2006 2006 IMSC, Long Beach, CA 2

Introduction • Many traffic accidents are analyzed for various reasons • If the causes for an accident are known, then consequences can be drawn • “Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again” • Case studies are analyzed, edited and documented accidents – “Let this be a lesson to you” March 28, 2006 2006 IMSC, Long Beach, CA 3

Case 1 March 28, 2006 2006 IMSC, Long Beach, CA 4

Case 1 What to learn from this accident … As a motorcycle rider: • Always expect the unexpected • Master your bike. A good braking maneuver can save your day • Last but not least: slow down, speed kills As a car driver: • Don’t break the rules! • Pay attention to other traffic March 28, 2006 2006 IMSC, Long Beach, CA 10

Case 2 Bicycle Motorcycle Rider March 28, 2006 2006 IMSC, Long Beach, CA 12

Case 2 What to learn from this accident … As a motorcycle rider: • Always expect the unexpected • Stay away from bicycles, they may move erratically • Collisions with pedestrians or cyclists can be as harmful as with a passenger car As a bicycle rider: • Watch out for motorized vehicles, they may approach you faster than you would expect • Always be predictable and don’t surprise others March 28, 2006 2006 IMSC, Long Beach, CA 16

Case 3 What to learn from this accident … As a motorcycle rider: • Master your bike, check your lateral upright, when you start • Buy high quality outfit, one day you might regret having saved a few bucks • Be concentrated when you ride your bike. As an immovable object: • Don’t hang around and get in the way of motorcyclists March 28, 2006 2006 IMSC, Long Beach, CA 24

Conclusions • Try to learn from others, especially from their mistakes, since you certainly don’t want to repeat them • Don’t put your health or life in the hands of other road users and accept (too many) risks • Reducing your speed will increase your safety margins in several ways. • Don’t compromise on quality and technological advances.
