Controversy over the proper protection and gear for motorcycle riders looms as motorcycle riders remain the most at risk of suffering serious to fatal injuries after an accident. Many motorcycle riders do not wear helmets and many do not wear protective clothing, such as elbow and knee protection. Many motorcycle riders are also spotted wearing flip flops, which do not help safe guard against suffering severe foot injuries or help with proper footing and handling.
