An improved hand guard assembly comprises a main body portion, a clamp, and an arm member. A hinge joint assembly pivotally connects the arm member to a second end of the main body portion. The clamp connects a handlebar to a first end of the main body portion. A coil spring of the hinge joint assembly restricts the free rotation of the arm member relative to the main body portion about a central axis. In a frontal accident or sudden deceleration of the vehicle, the operator's arms may hit the shield attached to the arm member in a forward direction imparting a forward force and rotating the arm member about the hinge joint assembly. The operator may then be thrown clear from the vehicle, preventing additional injuries that can occur when an operator's arms are caught between conventional hand guards and the handlebars. |
