    IR-PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study Motorcycle is one of the vehicles rapidly developed, which users are getting higher. The motorcycle’s history was beginning in the late 19th century. This kind of vehicle is the next step of the “safety bicycle” which is the bicycle that have the same size wheel. The first invented motorcycle is a very simple concept. At that time, the engineers have an idea to combine a motorized machine to the bicycle frame. After the century changed to the 20th century, the innovation in motorcycle manufacturing began to spring, start from the frame, engines, shape of the body and added the fuel tank and gearboxes to the engines. However, at that time, the shape of the motorcycle still similar to the bicycle complete with the pedal itself. After 1920 or during the World War 1, the shape of motorcycle started to evolve, no longer with a bicycle-like shape and innovation in the engine continues with the large engine capacity or the number of cylinders. With the increasing number of years, many motorcycle brands have begun to emerge starting from Europe (German, British, and Italy) and America then continued to Japan and innovations on the development of motorbikes continued until now (Hunt, et al. 2015). The sales number of motorcycles is absolutely fluctuating. Nevertheless, the trend of this vehicle is also increasing time by time.

  • An In-Depth Investigation Into Paediatric Motorcycle and Off-Road
    IRC-16-101 IRCOBI Conference 2016 An In‐Depth Investigation into Paediatric Motorcycle and Off‐Road Vehicle Crashes Christopher S Mulligan, Marijke Oomens, Bianca Albanese, Susan Adams, Julie Brown Abstract We are conducting a prospective in‐depth review of children aged 16 years and under who are admitted to any one of the three paediatric hospitals in the state of New South Wales, Australia, due to injuries caused by a crash on a powered off‐road vehicle or motorcycle. We aim to characterise crash circumstances, injury patterns and severity in order to identify priority targets for the development of injury prevention countermeasures. In this ongoing study, we have analysed 25 crashes, involving 22 males and 3 females between the ages of 4 and 16 years of age. Most riders were injured on purpose built off‐road motorcycles or quad bikes in the course of recreational riding or farm duties. Most crashes (n=19) occurred as a result of loss of control of the vehicle. A range of injuries to all body regions were observed. Injury severity varied, including 13 with minor injuries (Injury Severity Score (ISS) between 1‐9), 6 with moderate injuries (ISS 10‐15), 2 with severe injuries (ISS 16‐24) and 4 with critical injuries (ISS 25 or greater). Keywords motorcycle, off‐road vehicle, paediatric, quad bike I. INTRODUCTION Injury from trauma is the leading cause of death and injury among Australian children [1]. Injuries from the use of powered two, three and four‐wheeled vehicles are an important cause of injury in children. In Australia, and other developed countries, the majority of these incidents occur off‐road [2‐5].
