Two bikers fall 20 meters at Cala Tuent — What really goes wrong

Answer

Why are winding roads in Mallorca prone to serious motorcycle accidents?

On Mallorca’s winding routes, especially in the Serra de Tramuntana and the MA-10, narrow bends, changing road grip, and heavy tourist traffic create hazardous conditions. Safety depends on both better design and how road users behave, as a small error can lead to a major crash. Improved infrastructure and clearer guidance are essential to reduce these risks.
