The objective of this study was to use motorcycle and rider models in a crash simulation to identify pelvic injury potential. MADYMO was used to construct and analyze realistic frontal motorcycle crash scenarios. Vertical gas tank orientation and pelvic reaction force were measured at increasing Delta-Vs. Statistical analysis was performed to determine if the change in gas tank angle, at different impact severities, was significant. Delta-V and gas tank angle correlated significantly (p & lt;​ .05) with pelvic reaction force. The average pelvic force increased exponentially (R² & gt;​ .99) as the gas tank angle increased.
