Motorcycle enthusiasts are particularly susceptible to injury due to the lack of protection from external forces. Head injuries, paralysis, internal bleeding and often times death can result from contact with a fixed object, impact from a car or truck, seat ejection or skidding along a concrete surface.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- 11% of all roadway accidents that occur in the United States involve motorcycles.
- Motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to be involved in a deadly accident than those in passenger cars.
- Head injury is the leading cause of death in motorcycle accidents.
- In 2006, 88,000 motorcyclists were injured in highway accidents alone.
