What should the rider of a motorcycle that falls and slides along the ground try to do to minimise injuries?

Correct answer

Slide as relaxed as possible until coming to a stop.

Try to slide as relaxed as possible until fully stopped, without trying to roll faster or stand up while still sliding. The DGT guide also advises letting go of the motorcycle to avoid being dragged by it. Helmet and protective clothing help, but no technique guarantees avoiding injury. After stopping, assess the situation and seek help if injured; do not get up hastily.
