| Abstract |
Short article discussing the hazards faced by motorcycle couriers in Spain. Most of the couriers are young men 16-22yrs old. According to a recent study, an accident occurs in this sector for every 7400hrs worked. The very high job demands (estimated time allotted for each delivery: 15min) seem to be the main factor in making this job dangerous. |
