Bike neck brace on way
BMW and KTM have joined forces to develop a protection system for motorcyclists to reduce the risk of injury to the neck, the cervical spine, the spinal cord and the collar-bone in the event of a serious fall.The prototype made of carbon fibre, damping material and titanium currently undergoing intensive testing, is said to be producing excellent results. Consequently, experts at BMW and KTM Accident Research regard the prototype as having a huge safety potential.
The equipment is a development of the Leatt Brace, a South African idea that has been designed for a variety of motorsports. Its inventors claim there is no practical restriction of neck movement, but huge safety benefits. (See leatt-brace.com.)
