Motorcyclists at 'high risk of spinal injury'RSS Feed
Male motorcyclists have been involved in a large proportion of road accidents, according to new Australian research, which may have put them at a higher risk of spinal injury.
A recent study carried out by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) indicated that their were 362 cases of new spinal cord injury, half of which resulted from road accidents.
Eight in ten were traumatic cases and 84 per cent of cases involved males, while 30 per cent involved the 15 to 24-year-old age group.
The figures highlight the international problem of spinal cord injuries being caused by road accidents.
In the UK, transport minister Sadiq Khan recently announced plans to improve road safety, by improving signposting and requiring builders to meet high safety standards.
It is hoped this will reduce the hazards posed on Britain's roads as well as lessening the impact on British motorists.
