V18.2: Pedal cyclist injured in noncollision transport accident : unspecified pedal cyclist injured in nontraffic accident
Pedal cyclist injured in a non-collision transport accident refers to an injury that a person sustains while cycling but is not caused by a direct collision with another vehicle, pedestrian, or cycling athlete. For instance, this could include injuries obtained from falling off the bike, hitting a stationary object, or an accident caused by a mechanical failure of the bike itself. Such injuries can be sustained in non-traffic situations, such as cycling in parks, on bike paths, or inside a premise (not on the road). This type of injury varies in severity, encompassing a range from minor scrapes and bruises to more serious injuries that may involve broken bones or head trauma. Depending on the specific circumstances and the nature of the injury, this could impact the musculoskeletal system, the skin, the nervous system, or other body systems.
