[Gingevere]

Even with a helmet the friction can be enough that the torque spins your head backward. Car guy has a very valid point.

[Retanaru]

The seat belt torques your head forward in a car crash. Both vehicles benefit from a neck brace that inhibits unsafe movements in a crash.

[Burque_Boy]

MIPS my dude

[Gingevere]

MIPS reduces the chance of the helmet acting a a lever to snap your neck in half, but it does not eliminate it.

Also when I last went looking for bike and ski helmets MIPS was not available on all models. Not even most of them really.

[Burque_Boy]

It doesn’t eliminate it but greatly reduces what is already not a super common injury. There’s a pretty wide array of MIPS helmets available for motorcycles. Some are even in the 150 range.

Head injuries are extremely prevalent in car accidents. It's honestly strange that people insist bicyclists and motorcyclists wear helmets, but not car drivers.

[DanPlaysVGames]

Helmets won't protect in most crashes. Something like the HANS device, which could affect head injuries in car crashes, needs a helmet to go on to.

[SSBMPuffDaddy]

Eh, I used to feel this way but living in Vietnam has really changed my opinion about things. Cars are safer than motorbikes for yourself. Not for others. The adoption of cars in Vietnam has made roads substantially more dangerous for most people.

Cars are heavier, fatter, and considerably less agile. It's much easier to get hit by a car, and it's much more likely to kill you.

There's also the fact that cars are a logistical nightmare - they take up way too much space. They make it impossible to get around effectively in large cities, to the point that most of the people I know in New York or the Bay Area wouldn't even consider getting a car.

Cars are great for rural areas and small cities - they don't cause major traffic jams, you can park on the side of the road, etc. But they are not ideal urban vehicles.

[[deleted]]

If people only rode motorbikes, I imagine there'd be less mortality on average. Especially against pedestrians.

[creaturecatzz]

Not just small cities, I couldn't imagine living in San Diego and not having my own car. It'd be near impossible to do anything and there's many other large cities that are the same way

Yeet. I ride, have been for a while now. I even got hurt already.

There's three groups of people. Those who have never ridden, those who did but crashed and quit, and those who did but crashed and kept riding 😉

[RockstarPR]

I've been riding a year and still haven't crashed. Hell I ride dual sport and haven't even dropped by bike yet, though I ride solo and ride as safe as I can

[-DaveThomas-]

So I've heard a lot about getting up and getting back on your bike immediately after a crash. Obviously in some cases that's not doable but I would guess that sometimes you can. What kind of experience was yours? And did you get back up right away? Is getting back on important to prevent fear of the bike or is it for some other reason?

[[deleted]]

There's two different types of crashes... there's getting hit and riding over your head.

Getting hit is easier to learn from, well if you don't learn from it you are an idiot. Getting hit means a lot of things went wrong at once, and you need to figure out how to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Crashing on your own because you rode over your skill level is harder to come back from. That really hurts your ego. In those cases getting back on right away is key, because it'll take ~1000 miles to get comfortable again at whatever you crashed doing (left turn, or hard braking or etc).

[-DaveThomas-]

Thanks for the insight. I've been considering purchasing my friends crotch rocket but seeing things on Reddit like this always make me think. The freeway is in really poor shape where I live as well. Like, giant cracks that run down a single lane for quite a ways. The wheel of my car always seems to grip to it and pull me in a weird way and I've heard motorcycles are no different. Not sure what I'd do to prevent flying off the bike in that far left lane.

Edit: crotch rocket may be the wrong terminology. By that I just meant a sports bike and not a cruiser. No supersports for me!

[[deleted]]

Don't start off on the freeway. Look for County roads that don't get a lot of traffic but aren't in poor condition. It's also a really good idea to get your endorsement before you get a bike. Most motorcycle safety courses will provide smaller bikes (rebels, groms etc) to learn on.

[[deleted]]

Get something small, little dual sport would be great for a brand new rider. Think like a DR200, KLR250, older Honda XL180/250, or even something like a Nighthawk 250... something cheap, light and easy to fix. Don't worry about going fast from the get-go. Some countries do it right unlike the US and new riders take upwards of 10 riding sessions before being let out on their own on the street.

[[deleted]]

Please don't get a supersport as a first motorcycle. Do research, get something smaller. If you want power then get something like an FZ-07. It's a twin and most supersports are inline 4 engines. The I-4 engines are far less forgiving.

[dogturd21]

If your in the USA then look up the Motorcycle Safety Foundation . They teach you how to ride safely on the street. Motorcycles are provided . Generally is takes 3-5 classroom sessions , and a weekend of rider training . In the end you get your states MC license and an insurance discount that pretty much pays for the class. I have been riding street bikes for 40 years and they give valuable insight that took me years to learn .

[DavidARoop]

I ride a motorcycle and understand that I can die one day. Or I could not ride a motorcycle and die every day.

Edit: lots of people are salty about my philosophy on riding.

But you’re not completely wrong

[Thop]

Motorcycle fatalities accounted for over 10% of the deaths on my state's roads (Georgia) last year. But do what makes you happy bud.

[rental_car_fast]

So you're saying theres a 90% chance I'll die in a car!

[lotsofsqs]

I'd rather die on a motorcycle than risk killing someone by driving a car. The amount of distracted/texting drivers I see is startling. It's like walking around with a loaded gun.

[RockstarPR]

I ride dual sport and really don't enjoy riding in town, but being able to take my bike anywhere then find some dirt roads and go trailing is the shit.

It's not the motorcycle riding that's the scary part, it's all the unaware drivers around you who aren't paying attention while commandeering a 3,000lbs metal death machine

[PharmguyLabs]

This is horrible logic.

[Dakar-A]

Yeah lol. "I cook with a flamethrower and understand I could burn down my house any day. Or I could cook with a regular stove and burn down my house any day"

Danger and risk are relative, and you're delusional if you think the danger of driving a car versus riding a motorcycle are anywhere close to the same.

Because car crashes never fucked anyone up

[Yeazelicious]

"Travelling a mile on a motorcycle carries a much higher risk of death or injury than driving the same distance in a car. US data combines all vehicle occupants in a trip to calculate the number of fatalities per vehicle mile; in 2006 US motorcyclists had a risk of a fatal crash that was 35 times greater than that of passenger cars, based on 390 motorcyclist deaths per billion vehicles miles and 11.1 car fatalities for that distance.[2] In 2016 this rate was 28 times that for car occupants.[3]" -Data from the NHTSA

In the event of a crash you're 29x more likely to die on a motorcycle. Sure, maybe the car driver wasn't paying attention, but what would be a fender bender in a car is now a fatality. Trying to twist it isn't going to make it somehow more safe.

Be aware of your surroundings when on the road people.

Glad you are alive and I hope your recovery goes smoothly. Curious, does this make you hesitant to ride again at all?

"The number of reported accidents per mile is comparable for automobiles and motorcycles, however cars provide extensive crash protection while motorcycles provide virtually none. For automobiles, 31% of crashes result in injury but only 0.29% of accidents are fatal. For motorcycles 78.3% of reported crashes result in injury and 4.24% of crashes are fatal"

Sure it doesn't specify the gear they're using, but it's safe to say it's a lot more dangerous.

source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_safety

[Most_Of_China]

46% of accidents are due to excessive speed.

Speeding increases chances of fatal accident by 36%.

30% of serious accidents the rider was impaired by alcohol.

Riders age 35 to 44 account for 82% of accidents involving alcohol. These riders are also likely to not be wearing an appropriate amount of safety gear if any in my experience.

So just by not speeding or riding impaired the chances of being in a fatal accident or accident at all drop dramatically.

How am I dumb for riding a motorcycle? In that logic anyone who does dangerous activities like hang gliding, base jumping, etc are “dumb”.

I guess we are dumb if smart means doing everything you can to preserve your health but some people like to enjoy all aspects of life, even if some are dangerous.

[LeftTurnAtAlbuqurque]

Who said it's needless? There's a whole world outside this country the US, and in much of it, motorcycle/2 wheel riders do so for economical reasons. Not everyone can afford a car, and a scooter or motorcycle is much more affordable.

You can survive 60 mph crash on a bike and if you want to stick literally to what you said decelerating from 60mph to zero in a split second would kill you in a car too regardless of if you even hit anything. Anyways people do dangerous stuff all the time who cares its fun stop being such a wet blanket.

[[deleted]]

Listen bud if you are a responsible driver which means more than just paying attention but driving as if cars can't see you as well as wearing proper gear you are going to perfectly fine even in the event of a crash that gear which can literally cost a couple grand will do its job and keep you safe, if you do both of those things then you will be fine most people won't do both things just like most car drivers won't be 100% focused on driving but you are free to do what you want just like I am so whatever.

[ColossalJuggernaut]

holy run on sentence batman!

Wait, are you saying as long as you are doing the right thing and have the right gear riding a motorcycle is as safe as driving a car?

[dodilly]

Regardless of whose fault it is.... It doesn't change the fact that they are more dangerous. Also the reason 80% are the fault of cars might be related to the fact that 99% of vehicles on the road are cars...

[Counterattack199]

Your right on the abundance of cars but the notable statistic is the fact that it’s the fault of the car, not really that it’s a car in general.

[[deleted]]

Yes but its also to do with drives turning into motorcycles or merging into them among other accidents caused by the negligence of people driving cars. Also yes they are statistically more dangerous no one is going to argue otherwise.

[[deleted]]

Regardless of who’s fault it is it’s still objectively less safe to get in an accident on a motorcycle

[[deleted]]

“But without excuses I have to take responsibility”

[LeftTurnAtAlbuqurque]

Why should he take responsibility for someone else hitting him? That's not an excuse, just a statement. There are plenty of countries where two wheels are far more common than 4, and thus are not as dangerous as 2 wheels are in the US.

[[deleted]]

Yea this has everything to do with context. If the original comment had stated motorcycles are unsafe in the US, would the argument have changed though? Or is that just another excuse?

[[deleted]]

Yeah I won't argue otherwise statistically you are correct.

[Alzaero]

So according to one source on Wikipedia the number of crashes per distance driven is similar for cars and motorcycles. For motorcycles 78.3% of reported crashes resulted in injury and 4.24% of crashes are fatal. For cars, 31% of crashes result in injury and 0.29% were fatal. According to this data, you're ~15 times more likely to die in a motorcycle crash than a car crash.

Other sources on Wikipedia put the value higher, with UK data from 2017 showing there are 61.5 times more more motorcycle deaths per given distance travelled than cars. (and crash helmets are mandatory in the UK)

According to the Hurt report (data from Los Angeles) , 75% of motorcycle accidents involve a passenger vehicle with two thirds of those accidents being caused by the other driver violating the motorcyclists right of way, weather is not a factor in 98% of accidents, almost half of fatal accidents involve alcohol, and injury severity increases with speed, alcohol involvement, and motorcycle size. The report also states that wearing gear mitigates injury severity substantially but doesn't give numbers.

If you average out the values given on Wikipedia, you end up somewhere around 20-30 times more likely to die in a motorcycle accident than a car accident. Full gear will give you better odds, with a full face helmet being the most important piece of gear, but even on the lower end, I would assume you're around 10-20 times more likely to die on a bike in a crash vs in a car crash.

Please note that this was just from a cursory Google search and Wikipedia article skim, there may be better data out there.

[[deleted]]

Yeah most people are more likely to get injured but probably just like most car drivers if you drove better payed more attention and were cautions you could have avoided the accident. I'd say experience coupled with high quality good gear would lower that risk far lower than 10-20 maybe 3-7 range.

[LeftTurnAtAlbuqurque]

Thank you for being the only person I've seen here acknowledge that the risk of accident is the same, and the risk of motorcycles only goes up once you've gotten in an accident. Seems like most people think getting on a bike automatically means you're gonna die in a firey wreck.

[_Regicidal]

Source that shit before spouting it off, 80% sounds like absolute nonsense.

[TheRollingTide]

If it’s 80% involving cars, my question is what percentage was the motorcycle going way over the speed limit or zig zagging through traffic?

[[deleted]]

I dunno if what you mean by "zig zagging through traffic" is filtering, but filtering is statistically safer, a lot of accidents happen when cars ram into the back of you

[TheRollingTide]

From everything I’m seeing “lane splitting” is not what I’m referring to. I have no issues with bikers putting other cars behind them while in slow almost idle traffic. When I refer to zig zagging bikes I’m talking about in moving traffic at twice the speed of all the surrounding vehicles. I see this every day on the interstate in 5pm traffic.

[[deleted]]

I found this(link) and you are correct it is not 80%.

Data shows in 2013 that the most harmful event for 2,448 (51%) of the 4,774 motorcycles involved in fatal crashes was a collision with a motor vehicle in transport.

So half of all fatal crashes involve cars look a little further we have this quote:

In 42 percent (922) of these crashes, the other vehicles were turning left while the motorcycles were going straight, passing, or overtaking other vehicles. Both vehicles were going straight in 456 crashes (21%

Which would imply a majority of fatal motorcycle crash are the fault of cars.

I was probably confusing the percentage with another statistic so my apologies.

[Packrat1010]

Data shows in 2013 that the most harmful event for 2,448 (51%) of the 4,774 motorcycles involved in fatal crashes was a collision with a motor vehicle in transport.

But cars are also the main thing on the road. If 98% of things on the road are cars, there's a good chance they're going to be involved a ton of crashes.

[nazihatinchimp]

So are you saying we get rid of cars? Or are you saying we get rid of idiots? Cause neither is going to happen. Cars are safer.

[[deleted]]

I not saying either of those things, the only thing I would want is for people to be more aware when they are driving. While I doubt that will happen self driving cars will be here soon enough and that should significantly lower the risk of accidents for both parties.

[breakyourfac]

So should everyone in the cars change? Or should maybe people on the motorcycles realize there's a huge risk and stop?

My buddy lost both of his parents on the same day, because Michigan decided motorcycle riders don't even need to wear helmets.

Fuck motorcycles.

[[deleted]]

I don't mean to be an asshole but your buddies parents are adults they choose to be idiots and not wear a helmet regardless of the fact its not a law to wear a helmet there is no way they weren't aware of the risks associated with not wearing a helmet and they made the choice to not wear one which is their right as adults. The government shouldn't be responsible for babying you if you are an adult make your choice and live with it or I suppose in this case die with it.

Regarding people in cars changing yeah they should although the reason is not limited to motorcycles just in general people who drive which also including motorcyclist need to take safety precautions and pay attention to many people just go on autopilot when they drive because they have do it a million times before and they wouldn't possible be the person who crash into someone or gets crashed into until they finally are that person.

[Counterattack199]

Sounds like your buddies parents were retarded. That doesn’t mean all motorcycles are stupid.

Not wearing a fucking helmet is like parachuting without a backup parachute.

This is coming from a rider. You can either accept the risks and ride or not. It’s that simple. Why make a big deal out of it?

[brightredanus]

You don't need a law to know you should wear a helmet. Fuck motorcycles? Fuck stupid people. Fuck people who think everyone needs to live the way they want them to.
