Abstract

Falling in cycling is an increasing problem; both in professional cycling (where the incidence increases) as in recreational cycling (where amount of road users increase). Interesting to see is that there is no protection suitable for cyclists on the market, while the sport seems to become in need of it. The only protection currently worn in cycling is a helmet; this is a good thing as head injuries are very severe and can be life threatening, but 86% of the injuries are on other body parts then the head: for example road rash, which occurs in nearly every fall.More severe injuries occure in the shoulder: clavicle fracture or luxation, are quite common, just like; by clothing just tearing apart.
