For motorcycle riders and passengers, does the clothing worn matter?

A)No, it makes no difference as long as they wear a helmet.
B)No, because it contributes nothing to safety.
C)Yes, it is essential because the body is directly exposed to the elements.Correct
The purpose of the clothing worn by the motorcyclist or their passengers (gloves, boots, suit, helmet) is to reduce the severity of injuries in the event of an accident and to protect against adverse weather conditions and/or environmental situations such as dust, insects, etc. Clothing is therefore a very important passive safety element.
