All were male and primary riders of their motorcycle. Nine fatalities were related to head injury; of these, five wore inadequate head protection. The coroner identified rider factors as contributory (speed, age or substance abuse) in seven cases. Motorcycle\u2010related incidents were the second most common mechanism recorded after bicycles, comprising 6.8% of 9141 paediatric trauma cases (619 motorcycle\u2010related incidents; 1225 injuries; admission rate\u2009=\u200922.2\/100\u2009000 population 0\u201315 years). Compared with the all\u2010trauma population, patients were older (median age\u2009=\u200913 vs. 10 years) and more frequently male (85% vs. 67%). Average admission was 4.4 days (head injuries\u2009=\u20097.0 days; burns\u2009=\u20095.8 days). Most children incurred &gt;1 injury (mean\u2009=\u20092.01 injuries) with fractures (45%) and open wounds (17%) most common.
