V10-V19: Pedal cyclist injured in transport accident
V17: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with fixed or stationary object
Pedal cyclist injuries due to collisions with fixed or stationary objects refer to a group of conditions that occur when a person riding a bicycle collides with an immobile object, such as a parked vehicle, wall, or a tree. These injuries can range from minor to severe, depending on factors such as the cyclist's speed, protective gear worn, and the force of the impact. Typical symptoms can include but are not limited to bruises, cuts, fractures, sprains, concussions, and in severe cases, internal injuries. The progression and severity of the condition sometimes only become apparent over time or after comprehensive medical examination. Systems commonly affected include the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, and in certain cases, internal organs. The causes of such incidents may include environmental factors, distraction, poor visibility, loss of control or a sudden obstacle in the pathway.
