Motorcycle Crash Reconstruction School

Overview

This course is designed for experienced crash reconstructionists who have a good working knowledge of the techniques and applications of formulas taught in reconstruction courses and wish to build upon that foundation with more advanced mathematical formulas used to analyze motorcycle crashes.

Field tests will be conducted showing a variety of motorcycle skids, accelerations, and slide-to-stop drag factors. You will learn how to photograph skids and examine the subsequent effects that skids have on tires and surfaces.

Topics include:

• Analyzing and interpreting the motorcycle crash scene

• Determining acceleration and deceleration characteristics of the motorcycle

• Instability and handling characteristics in motorcycles

• Interpreting the operator factor

• Reviewing motorcycle tires, helmets, and other equipment

Prerequisite: Students must have successfully passed a Level III Crash Reconstruction course to be eligible to attend.
