2.5 Protective Apparel
2.6 Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accidents are the result of head in-juries. The use of a safety
helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
head-aches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death. Carbon Monoxide is a
colorless, odor-less, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine
exhaust. Deadly levels of car-bon monoxide can collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and
un-able to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed
or poorly ventilated areas.
If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-MENT.
Always wear an approved helmet.
Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to
an impairment of vision that could delay seeing a hazard.
The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or
reducing abrasions or lacerations.
Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers,
footrests, or wheels and cause injury or an accident.
Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet. The engine
or exhaust sys-tem become very hot during or after operation and can cause
burns.
Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or
open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rap-idly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as barns,
garages, or car-ports.
Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building
through openings such as windows and doors.
