According to the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (NHTSA), motorcyclists are approximately 21 times as likely as passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash, per vehicle mile. If the biker evades death, the injuries sustained are often catastrophic with long recovery periods and high medical bills. Motorcycles have less protection than a passenger vehicle causing seemingly minor accidents to turn into life altering events. Even with the proper protective gear, bikers will likely suffer serious harm.

Common Motorcycle injuries include:

• Head injuries
• Spinal cord injuries, which can lead to paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia injuries
• Fractures
• Amputations
• Back injuries
• Disfigurement
• “Road rash” and burns

More than 80% of all reported motorcycle accidents result in death or serious injury to the motorcyclist. The rider has no head injury protection on the motorcycle. Ejection is likely. Upon ejection, the biker will inevitably collide with objects in his or her path.
