Show answer

Correct answer

  • BLa cabeza y la cara.The head and face.
Explanation

In a motorcycle accident there is no bodywork to protect the rider, and blows to the head and face cause the most serious and often fatal injuries. That is why helmets are compulsory, and a full-face helmet, which also covers the face, is the safest.
