V18.1: Pedal cyclist injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
Pedal cyclist injured in a noncollision transport accident - passenger injured in a nontraffic accident refers to an injury sustained by a bicycle rider who is a passenger during an accident that occurred outside the normal flow of traffic or roadway. Accidents of this nature do not involve a collision with another vehicle, instead, it might be an accident due to loss of control, mechanical failure, or an obstacle on the route. Symptoms of such an injury can range from mild, like minor bruises and scrapes, to severe, including fractures, head injuries, or internal damage. The exact nature and severity of the injury would largely depend on factors such as the impact of the fall, protective gear worn, and immediate medical care provided. Prospective assessment and treatment would be based on the specific injuries sustained. The point of impact and force exerted during the accident typically determine which body system would be most affected.
