Motorcycles provide very little protection in a crash. Due to this, approximately 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in injury or death. This is compared to 20 percent of automobile accidents.
Furthermore, motorcycle accident fatality rates are on the rise with the most recent statistics, showing a 55 percent increase in recent years.
Motorcycle accidents make up a significant number of accident-related fatalities each year – approximately 8% - even though motorcyclists represent a minority of drivers on the road. Because motorcycles lack the bulk and weight of automobiles – not to mention certain safety features like a roof, airbags, and seatbelts – motorcyclists suffer from a higher rate of injury and fatality in accidents.
Causes of Motorcycle Accidents:
- Speeding
- Inattention to blind spots
- Aggressive driving
- Driver inattention
- Driving while impaired
- Poor weather
- Motorcycle defects
- Limited visibility
- Road hazards
Why do Motorcycle Accidents Result in More Injuries?
By itself, the motorcycle provides no protection for the head or limbs. Contrasted with an automobile, motorcyclists might as well be running across freeways for safety’s sake.
When motorcycles collide with other objects, the driver’s chance of becoming ejected from the bike is high. This results in incredibly serious injuries.
