Timeline
Hugh Harrison (Harry) Hurt, Jr., (December 13, 1927 – November 29, 2009) was an American researcher on motorcycle safety.
He also owned and rode dozens of street and dirt motorcycles, including a 1947 Harley-Davidson, 61 Knucklehead, a 1968 Triumph Bonneville, a 1975 Norton Commando, and a 1979 Triumph Bonneville.
After receiving his Master's at USC, Hurt remained there as a professor.
Hurt graduated from Texas A&M University in 1950, and was an air transport pilot for the United States Navy during the Korean War.
He married Joan Beene in 1950, and had five children with her: Harry, John, Julie, Vivien, and Vera.
He then received a Master's degree in aeronautical engineering from the University of Southern California (USC).
Hurt, self-described as "scooter trash" in his youth, began riding on a Cushman scooter.
In 1976–1977, Hurt and his team at USC performed 900 on-scene, in-depth motorcycle crash investigations and compiled data from 3,600 police reports.
Investigators later returned to the scene of several hundred crashes they had previously investigated and tallied passing traffic, photographed 2,310 passing motorcycles, and interviewed 505 riders.
This database of riders exposed to accident risks, similar to the previous accidents, allowed a comparison of riders in crashes to those not involved in a crash.
He was the author of the 1981 Hurt Report, described as "the most comprehensive motorcycle safety study of the 20th century."
Hurt was born and raised in Big Spring in West Texas.
He was an only child, and his father worked in the banking industry.
This large data collection effort led to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 1981 Hurt Report, leading to evidence of the usefulness of motorcycle helmets.
The Hurt Report was described by David L. Hough as "the most comprehensive motorcycle safety study of the 20th century."
Upon his retirement from USC in 1998, HPRL was spun off as an independent non-profit corporation with Hurt as its president.
In 2006, reflecting on the report, Hurt stated, "The current problem is older riders, bigger bikes and alcohol."
Hurt remained at USC, researching and presiding over the nonprofit Head Protection Research Laboratory (HPRL), as well as a Professor Emeritus of Safety Science at USC.
Hurt died of a heart attack at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center on November 29, 2009, at the age of 81.
