Motorcycle Accidents
The United States Department of Administration, National Highway Transportation Safety Administration says that in 2002, the chances of a motorcyclist dying in a motor vehicle-related accident was 26 times greater than the chances of a passenger dying while riding a car. Motorcyclists also represented 8% of traffic-related deaths in the United States, even though there are far less motorcycle riders than there are people who ride in cars.
Motorcyclists and the passengers who ride with them are also more likely to sustain serious injuries, such as severe fractures, loss of limbs, road rashes, and burn injuries.
