Many casualties due to automobile accidents are caused by frontal collisions of motorcycles. Very few safety devices have been provided for motorcycles other than crash helmets, although fourwheel vehicles are equipped with seat belts and air bags to improve the safety of the driver and passengers. The authors proposed a new device which uses a swinging mechanism to reduce the impulsive force caused by collisions. The fundamental properties of shock isolation for a model and a prototype motorcycle were experimentally analyzed with two impact testing devices which used a pendulum and pull rope, respectively. The results of the study concluded that the new swinging device is superior in the isolation of shock and can be easily applied to motorcycles provided it satisfies the vibration isolation and running stability. The latter two are subjects for further study.
