Hospitals report brain injuries and serious fractures as the most common injuries sustained by motorcyclists. Brain injuries account for about 10% of injured motorcyclists. Spinal cord injuries and pelvic fractures, leg fractures and arm fractures were the most common types of orthopedic injuries suffered by motorcyclists. 80 % of motorcyclists were eventually discharged into the care of a family physician while close to 15% remained in patient care given the extensive nature of their injuries.

Although the majority of motorcyclists wear personal protective gear such as leather jackets, helmets, gloves, the reality is accidents which occur at high speed will almost certainly result in injury. Another common result of motorcycle accidents are eventual limb amputations due to the serious nature of injury. When motorcyclists are involved in high speed collisions, the extent of orthopedic fractures can be devastating which ultimately result in limb amputation.
