- Highsider abstract "A highsider or highside is a type of motorcycle accident characterized by sudden and violent rotation of the bike around its long axis. This generally happens when the rear wheel loses traction, skids, and then suddenly regains traction, creating a large torque which flips the rider head first off the road. The initial traction loss may be caused by a rear locked wheel due to excessive braking or by applying too much throttle when exiting a corner or by oversteering the bike in the turn or by any loss of traction to the rear wheel. Examples are: attempting to turn too sharply and leaning the bike past the limit of tire adhesion; rolling off the edge of the tire sidewall; levering the rear tire off the ground by scraping the exhaust, peg, leg, foot, or knee; or overstressing the rear tire if it's too cold or worn-out or there is oil, water, sand, dirt, ice, paint marks, or other patches of reduced traction on the road. Highsides differ from lowsides as follows: during a lowside the rear wheel slips laterally and continuously until the bike falls onto its side -- the side that's inside the corner, while during a highside the rear wheel slips laterally only briefly before suddenly regaining traction and flipping the bike onto its other side -- the side that's outside the corner. As a result highsides happen very quickly with little if any warning and are very violent.If the slipping rear tire suddenly regains traction while the bike is side-slipping, the motorcycle will straighten-up very quickly. Often the rider is thrown off before they can regain balance and control. Highside accidents can be caused by over-acceleration or braking in corners, but also can result from any sudden loss and regaining of traction to the rear wheel. In all cases, the rear-wheel begins to move out of the line of travel and side-slips. If the wheels are not aligned in the direction of travel when traction is suddenly restored and the rear-tire stops slipping then a highside is likely, depending on how much the bike is turned across the direction of travel and how fast the bike is traveling when the rear tire stops slipping. If the angle is high enough, the bike is moving fast enough and the rear tire slips and hooks-up suddenly enough, the rider has no chance of preventing a highside and not taking a short flight across hard ground. What makes the highside so deadly is that the bike can go from traveling down the road at high speed completely under control to tumbling down the road at high speed with the rider flying in front of it, all within a split second with little if any warning.".
