Envelope of Protection for Low-Side Falls
A low-side fall is a type of motorcycle crash usually occurring in a turn in which the rider
falls towards the motorcycle's leaning side; the rider typically contacts the ground behind
the sliding motorcycle and can also start tumbling or rolling while sliding. A low-side fall is
caused when either the front or rear wheel slides out, as a result of either too much braking
into the corner, too much acceleration through or out of the corner, or too much speed car-
ried into or through the corner for the available grip. A low-side fall may also be caused by
unexpected slippery or loose material (such as oil, water, dirt, gravel, or leaves) on the road
surface. In these conditions, the System is expected to have an intervention time within
200ms from the moment of first contact with the ground. Refer to Section 20 "Certification
Information" for the complete list of tests.
