What injuries can you expect from motorcycle track racing, and how frequently do people get injured?

Question

I'm interested in sportbike racing on road tracks (not dirtbikes). Thanks!

Answer 1

Infrequently but it can be dire as was the poor lad (Craig Jones)  that copped it at Brands Hatch the other week.

Answer 2

Mainly Collar Bone and things like that etc

Answer 3

Hmmm.. That's a good question. I want to start Motocross racing and I was thinking of that, but my Uncle races Motocross and he's had things like ankle problems (from the boots) bruised kidney, fractured wrists, knee dislocation, and things like that. But like a lot of other people have said already are pretty true. So that's what I can tell you :)

Answer 4

you name the injury you can end up with it.....then again you could die on the way to work.....or coming home from a friends house....

Answer 5

Can only answer from an mx, sx point of view, but the most common injuries are broken collar bones, broken arms, legs, scapula,  concussion.

Then you get to some of the nastier ones.  Split liver, split kidney, ruptured spleen, both arms broken together, broken neck and if you are very unlucky one which my son has done.  Dislocated leg.

Answer 6

broken bones, concussions, even death but that's rare. getting paralyzed. my friend recently got paralyzed from racing. it depends on how you fall, how fast you hit the ground, and where you hit the ground effect's the injuries you receive.

people get injured a lot because they don't know what they are doing or accidents even. and accidents do happen a lot too. this sport is dangerous and you have to know what your doing you know.  

Answer 7

broken fingers to death

Answer 8

oh maybe broken hand , knee, entire leg or shoulder and in some case a head may get crack ?   depending how fast or how high of the jump is , when in a crash ?   you more likely to get hurt every time , small or big pain always there for you to feel it ?  ooooaaaaahhhhh  mom ma !  PAINNNN...... HOLD YOUR BREATH  HARD !
