V17.3: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : person injured while boarding or alighting
Pedal cyclist injured in collision with fixed or stationary object refers to an injury condition indicating that an individual, while operating a bicycle, has been harmed due to an impact with an unmoving object. This could include injury sustained in a crash into a wall, fence, pole, or any other stationary structure. The specific type and severity of injury can be broad-ranging, depending upon the location and speed of the collision. Common injuries may range from minor scrapes, bruises and fractures to more severe cases that involve head trauma, spinal injury, or internal damage. The condition refers not only to when the injury happens during the course of cycling, but also extends to injuries that occur when the bicyclist is getting on or off the bicycle.
