Your Motorbike Can Be A Deadly Thing BLOOMINGTON, Ind (AP -An Indiana University od tometry Drnfpsc 1 iy, '? "Rod TV. nT .IJ' seen, said Dr. Merrill Allen, an expert motorists' vision prob- "Red is hard to distinguish through tinted windshields and oy certain color defective drivers even with clear wind shields, and by drivers wear ing green sunglasses," he said. "All pedestrians, cycles and small car drivers should show as much white as possible. While charges and counter charges regarding tha me chanical safety Matures of automobiles have made head lines in recent months, even more lethal highway vehicles have emerged in recent years These are motorcycles and scooters. , According to the National Safety Council, there were 13 deaths per 10,000 registered motorcycles in 1962 m con trast to 5.1 deaths per 10,000 registered passenger cars, trucks, buses and taxis. The Department of Com merce reports there were 984 800 motorcycles registered in 1964 as compared to 786.300 in 1963. Since sales exceed 300.000 per year, the number of such vehicles on the highways of America is probably now ap proaching 1,500,000. A study recently reported in the Journal of the Ameri American Medical Association shows that motorcycle acci dents frequently result in par ticularly severe head and ex- tremity injuries. As could be expected, the study also show ed teen-agers are the most frequently involved. In the 38 cases analyzed, there were three deaths and one case of total blindness, paraplegia and facial disfig urement. The latter was a girl who was given a small mo torcycle ?s a present on her 17th birthday and was injured the following day. The study also revealed that in most cases the parents were op posed to their children having such vehicles but reluctant ly agreed after considerable pressure. The most frequent causes of injuries are hitting an auto mobile or loss of control of a vehicle and overturning. The finding in a study con ducted in Maine confirmed an earlier study of 200 victims in Minneapolis in 1964. In this group there were two deaths resulting from skull fracture with brain damage' and a high percentage of single and mul tiple fractures of the tibia, femur and pelvis. These researchers empha sized that although the use of helmets may reduce fatalities from skull fracture there is no protection available for ex tremities of drivers and pass engers. for traffic safety SA.T Plores the poaSf .j? dStbsr cars' cycies W We'll give you a FREE rendezvous with beauty.
