Can motorcycle protective clothing really prevent serious injuries in motorcycle crashes? Over the past 20 years there have been great advances in the technology of impact and abrasion resistant materials and yet many of the garments currently available will fail under average crash conditions or are too hot to be worn in warm climates. In the absence of effective standards, motorcyclists have had to rely on advertising, brand name or price when buying protective garments.

This webinar traces the research process and evidence that has resulted in the development of an independent testing program to inform consumers as to the performance of currently available motorcycle jackets, pants and gloves. The researchers have also developed a guide for the manufacturers of PPE to ensure their products are fit for purpose.

This webinar will describe the mechanisms and limits of motorcyclist’s protective clothing, the prevalence and types of injuries, the limitations of standards, the challenges to manufacturers and road authorities in factoring motorcycle PPE into a safe system.

Join this webinar with Dr Liz de Rome, the winner of the Women in Road Safety Award presented by Austroads at the 2022 Australasian Road Safety Conference.

There will be question and answer opportunities during the session.

Reminded by the reminders for today's session, did you watch this?

Presumably about corner markings?

I haven't seen it yet - hopefully I can get a catch-up. It was a manic week last week, and combined with the heat and not sleeping, I really didn't want to get up at 4am.
