  1. 7 Shocking Motorcycle Accident Statistics

  2. Motorcycles are used for the thrill and the unparalleled feeling of freedom. However, with that great comfort comes great risk and dangers of the open road. With little to no protection from impact, motorcyclists are in great danger, especially after getting involved in an accident.

  3. 01 High Fatality Rate Did you know that motorcyclists have a 5 times bigger chance to die than any other car drivers? According to the statistics, the fatality rate for motorcyclists is 5 to 1 compared to car drivers (for the same number of accidents). This number only shows how often motorcyclists die as a result of a collision on the road.

  4. 02 Helmets are Overrated? Do you know that many motorcyclists do not wear helmets? Approximately 50 percent of all motorcyclists do not wear helmets, and 40 percent of all motorcyclists killed in accidents were not wearing a protective helmet at the time of the crash.

  5. 03 04 The Older You Get Usually A Victim In 75 percent of cases of motorcycle accidents, motorists are at fault. That is because they fail to spot an approaching motorcycle, see them turn or switch/change lanes, move through an intersection or merge. Most motorists simply have too many blind spots, and many motorcyclists find themselves exactly in these blind spots. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, older motorcyclists account for over 50 percent of all motorcycle accidents. Not only that, but they also account for more than half of all fatalities. These motorcyclists were at least 40 years old.

  6. 05 High Alcohol Concentration Many motorcyclists enjoy drinking and will have a beer or two every once in a while. The crucial part is sitting on the motorcycle after those few bears, and that is usually their biggest mistake.

  7. 06 $16 Billion Industry Motorcycle accidents, according to the Government Accounting Office (GAO), cost the country around $16 billion every year. These are complete costs of medical bills, compensations, rehabilitation, mental health counselling, and surgeries. 07 Usually Males In 2017, 91 percent of riders killed on the roads were males. Could this mean that female riders ride more safely, or that the general population of motorcyclists are males? Perhaps it could be both?
