In our experience, the dog will more thank likely be unharmed by a common tip over or slow speed crash, given that:
The Cockpit is securely mounted to the motorcycle and
The dog is securely tethered within the Cockpit.
To further increase the dog’s safety in a crash scenario, we recommend riding with metal panniers / side cases or fully packed soft pannier bags. This increases the crash angle, keeping the dog further from the ground and less likely to suffer harm. That being said, we have not tested the Cockpit in a high-speed crash or roll over.
