Performing an FMEA on motorcycle operation. One of the failure modes would be falling off the bike. A failure mode of that would be striking the head on the road. The effect would be severe, to say the least. So, we perform some error proofing by adding a helmet. Now when you hit the road there is less chance of head injury.
The attached photo should show actual results of me falling off my Harley (with help of a white tail deer). I can tell you with all certainty there were no injuries to my head. The question is.... Did the severity change because there was no injury, or would you say that the helmet kept my head from actually impacting with the road, so the occurrence is what dropped?
I say the severity changed. But would like your opinion.
BTW, my leathers kept me mostly road rash free, but when the bike and I cart wheeled over the deer, the bike landed on my right leg. Now I am an automatic candidate for enhanced, detailed screening at airport security.
