What type of life threatening injuries would a person sustain due to a motorcycle accident?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Death or less: Any and every organ can be injured in a motorcycle accident. Head injuries and major extremity injury (sometimes requiring amputation) are not uncommon.We also see major liver & spleen injuries, as well as aortic ruptures, broken necks/spinal cord. According to CDC, you are 37x more likely to be injured on an MC than in a car. We call them donorcycles.
