I'm doing a little research on road safety for motorcycles and wasn't really sure if this was a medical question or a physics question. What speed would be fatal if a motorcyclist had a head-on collision with say a truck(the rider has neglected to wear a helmet) and assuming that he goes head first into the truck ( does it matter which side of the head takes the greatest impact) and what's the amount of force the human skull can withstand?
Edit : Would landing on the back of your head after the impact assure certain death as the cerebellum and medulla oblongata are located there and would impact on the front increase the chances of paralysis rather than immediate death
