- No joke. Doctor Harry Hurt did the first widely published and referenced
- scientific study of motorcycle accidents. No reference materials here on
- campus, they're all at home, but 1979 sounds like the publishing date. A
- film produced by the school in CA where the study took place is required
- showing for the MSF classes at the community college where I teach the classes
- in the summer.
-
- Dr. Hurt is still active in helmet and motorcycling issues, last I heard.
