Whenever cyclists and pedestrians share space with motorists, there exists the danger of a collision. The person walking or biking will almost inevitably come off worse in any such accident, because they lack the protection of a motor vehicle and its myriad design features intended to protect its passengers from harm. Most cyclists have no more protective gear than a bicycle helmet standing between them and serious injury, and pedestrians generally have only the clothes on their backs, which offer negligible protection. It’s no surprise, then, that pedestrians and cyclists who are struck by motor vehicles often sustain severe injuries, including bone fractures, abrasions and lacerations (with ensuing risk of infection and scarring), head trauma (including traumatic brain injury), and back or spinal injuries. In the worst cases, the collision may result in death.
