Here's a pretty horrifying one:
Motorcycle deaths in a year: 3,215
Car, van, etc deaths in a year: 21,000 or so.
If motorcycles make up 1% of the vehicles, as they purportedly do, if we were all riding motorcycles that's 321,500 deaths a year compared to the 21,000 if we all drove cars.
So the odds of dying on a motorcycle are about 15 times higher than the odds of dying in a car.
Ouch. |

Ahem, if you read it tho, it shows we are nearly 5 times LESS likely to die (per year) then car occupants, and 2 times less likely to die then pedestrians.
Bless em. Remember its odds, not deaths we are looking at. ____________________ China traffic/travel bike vid - When I make a sweeping statement, please add the word 'statistically' in to the sentence before you bitch...

Actually... (look smart hahah) From the back of 'The Police Rider's Handbook To Better Motorcycling' it states "Motorcyclists are on average 35 times more at risk of death or serious injury than car drivers."

great post proving that the site is incorrect. stats incorrectly used. to work it out properly they need to know how many deaths per user. |
