Abstract

Ministry of transport statistics in 1974, and the orthopedic admissions to wellington hospital in 1975, have been studied to give an indication of the significance of pedestrian, cycle and motorcycle accidents to New Zealand. Notable findings include the high mortality index and prolonged inpatient time of pedestrian casualties, the high risk to children as pedestrians or cyclists, and the major and recurring nature of motorcycle causalities.
