Motorcyclist's will Continue to be killed by wire median strips if road authorities fail to review prehistoric" designs.. With a reputation for leaving riders with horiffic injuries resulting in severed limbs"and Death.   "It seem's ironic that a so called safety system design that actually increases the chances of fatality,not only is the wire rope in itself a Danger to all motorcycles but the upright support post are also posing a fatal risk to all riders.   A recent study show's in other countries 7 out of 7 impacts involving motorcycles were fatal,so why install WRSB if Concrete barriers are more forgiving to motorcyclists. Further research and action is needed to prevent ongoing risk and severe injury.     A safe barrier for motorcyclists is • a barrier where you cannot be thrown over in a collision • a barrier without protruding parts where parts of the body and/or the motorcycle can get caught • a barrier without openings, vertical or horizontal, where parts of the body and/or the motorcycle can become trapped • a barrier with a smooth upper surface • a barrier without unprotected posts in both the ground level and the top side • a barrier with energy-absorbing MPS • a barrier that is not fitted with attachments which involve a higher risk of injury and • a barrier which is located at a distance from the road surface allowing a rescue space.
