ABSTRACT:
An arrangement in or a structure for motorcycles intended to protect a motor cyclist against injury in the event of a collision comprises a protective body (1), having a cushioning or impact surface (4) which faces the upper part of the cyclists' body. The cushioning surface has an area of at least 500 cm.sup.2, and is of such shape and so inclined that when the upper part of a motor cyclist's body lies against said surface, it forms an upwardly directed angle of at least 20.degree. to the horizontal. That part of the protective body located nearest the motor cyclist is provided with support portions lying over the thighs and knees of the motor cyclist and the structure is secured to the motorcycle by attachment means which will break at a given load so as to free the structure from the motorcycle. The protective body (1) has at least one forward part (6) which forms a deformation zone, and means may be provided which, when the protective body moves relative to the motorcycle, act on the handle-bars in a manner which causes them to break loose.
