“…These features represent active safety measures in an effort to totally avoid crashes. However, on the other hand, it is undoubtedly that contacts and crashes are essentially unavoidable and it is where passive safety measures come into play (Sporner et al, 1990;Berg et al, 1998). Thus, the importance of passive safety design features must not be overlooked and shall also be considered as part of the assessments in near future to enhance the comprehensiveness of the ASEAN NCAP rating system.…”

“…Most of such works were focused on frontal, or Type I collisions, in which a motorcycle crashed directly onto an opponent vehicle because it has been well known to be the severest type of road crash. Such collision type is not only highly represented in statistics (Whitaker, 1980;Otte et al, 1981;Harms, 1989;Pang et al, 2000;Piantini et al, 2016) but also always leads to serious or fatal head injuries (Ramet et al, 1981;Sporner et al, 1990;Pang et al, 1999;MacLeod et al, 2010;Piantini et al, 2016) as the rider is often ejected from the motorcycle and thrown directly towards the opponent vehicle, with the head directly impacts with stiff parts of the vehicle.…”

“…Other than the helmet, protective clothing is another vital item to protect the human body from injuries. A number of researchers have concluded that effective injury prevention is most likely to come from protection systems worn by the motorcyclist (Craig et al, 1983;Nordentoft et al, 1984;Ouellet et al, 1987;Sporner et al, 1990;Ariffin et al, 2016). Although less attention has been paid to the injury reduction benefits of motorcycle clothing, there is evidence that a significant proportion of motorcycle injuries may be reduced or prevented through the use of effective protective clothing (Schuller et al, 1986;EEVC, 1993;Otte et al, 2012;ACEM, 2004;de Rome et al, 2011).…”
