How Dangerous are Motorcycles, Really?

[@LordMcKrakenVonLittleBits]

Had a seventyish something dude pull up next to me in a parking space the other day on his new Ninja 500 and full gear. He said he'd never ridden before because he was too scared but wanted to overcome it and check it off his bucket list. That's gonna stick with me for a while. Just a really cool thing to see.

[@Godric_71]

As a rider myself, I tend to have a sense of "protector" of ither riders when driving my car. If I get behind a rider, I leave plenty of distance and try to be the buffer between the rider and other cars. Kind of like a protective barrier.

In a world of full of technology, distracted drivers are one of the biggest concerns for not only motorcycle safety, but for other vehicles and pedestrians alike. Please put the phone down and have respect for the road, because it will humble you in an instant.

[@fingerz1245]

Distracted driving is the number one cause of collisions in the US.

[@Bigmiquimby]

The same goes for having a phone mount on your bike. The only thing you *SHOULD* need a phone mount on your bike is for GPS... but really, just buy a Cardo(or whatever is comparable) and have it give you street directions through audio. Way less distracting AND it makes it easier to remember the route.

[@onit_ayrshire]

The increase in 'self drive vehicles' is gonna become a serious issue for bikers in the future too

[@Montragon29]

I couldn;t agree more with you! Also, the same technology that seems to overwhelm some new motorcycle models seems to be a distracting factor for all involved.

[@YayaTia_II]

what about the number of pedestrians that me included are head down on their phones in this age of social media... yesterday no joke I almost walked into oncoming traffic when I heard the light go off because I did not look properly no phone in hand either but thankfully I took one step and then quickly stepped back onto the pavement so no issue. otherwise no me or worse.

[@ODGreenZa]

As someone who has ridden for years. Bikes are super dangerous. Not because of the bike but the other road users. Lost friends cause motor vehicles didn't see them. You not only have to think for yourself but others too. Be careful out there

[@rickkrough6167]

They are only as dangerous as the rider. I have been riding 32 years and have no crashes on a public road. Just have to ride within your limits, stay sharp and anticipate. Most importantly don’t do stupid shit .

[@noid919]

I have 34 years, my luck ran out on the 5th of December last year. I did everything right but this one was unavoidable from my end.

[@MrQuezPL]

That’s not true unfortunately. Friend of mine crashed head to head with another motorcycle from the opposite lane, because that motorcyclist lost control out of the blank turn and went on straight on our lane. We were doing 20km/h under the limit and we knew the road well. That was just sad coincidence, bad place and time. It could’ve been me, but I happened to be following my friend instead of being ahead. My friend got his arm broken badly and the other guy lost leg. Accidents happen and you might be the best rider, but still have a bad luck. Wish you all the best luck on the road!

[@georgeblumenthal7938]

I'm 74, been riding since 16. I ride within my abilities and still watch safety courses. Avoiding traffic too, just out in country. Never down, Never accident. Great review, thank you

[@SuperConor17]

I slightly disagree w the more dangerous at night . I commute home at between 1-2am for about 20-25 minutes on back country roads/ small town … the only thing I’m worried about at night is a fucking deer jumping out . I rarely see any cars that late . So it depends where you live . Riding in a major city on a Saturday night fs more sketchy . But chill speed limit commute out in the woods . So calm and peaceful

[@fingerz1245]

“You choose to ride that motorcycle, so you need to take responsibility for it." The words of our instructor when I took the MSF course years ago still resonate with me. Now I teach a defensive driving course to employees at my work and use that lesson in my presentation. If all drivers were responsible …

[@JoePolaris]

100% w/Yammie, all great tips here. If you are new to riding, I’d argue, don’t buy new, buy used, sub 600cc class, learn backroads, practice manholes avoidance and virtual obstacles in absence of traffic, and slow down for Pete’s sake. I’ve been riding for 20+y, car drivers are more distracted than ever, watch a car drivers head movements, watch pavement after a rainfall, gravel or dust hangs on corners. Wear protective gear at all times, pavement is unforgiving! ( Helmet, Gloves, Jacket, Pants)

[@ravengaming4143]

They don't allow for mistakes, especially at high speeds. However, even if you ride very careful, there is still the possibility of randomness that can cause an accident. They provide more freedom than cars but with freedom comes risk.

[@colinsnyder5061]

As a Vermont rider it is so scary when I ride to New Hampshire and see soooo many people without helmets and it’s crazy during events like Laconia when a lot of alc is often involved

[@MaybeFactor]

I feel like breaking down statistics by power to weight ratio might be even more illuminating. My first bike is a 650, but it weighs a lot and is underpowered for its size, so it's allowed under Australia's Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme

[@leanit5756]

Simple rule - nobody sees you. Never expect them to or assume that they do. You are already 95% safer. The other 95% is paying attention and not riding over your skill level. After that, your chance of dying or being in a wreck in pretty minimal. That said, I work with a guy who was rear ended and is now paralyzed in his lower body. A good back protector may have saved him. Wear good gear.

[@tankerd1847]

Good video. It's really true that there is so much nuance to motorcycle crash stats. Appreciate your newbie advice videos, they were a lot of what helped me get into riding a couple years ago.

[@ogasi1798]

oh yeah, try to ride at 7/10 of your skillset - this allows a lot of braintime to avoid shit when it happens - no panic braking etc, having skill to spare means having enough time to make adjustment in line choice, exit options etc without needing brakes

[@01luriaz]

I was given that talking to when I got back to riding after almost 24 years, but I was struck by a car while I was crossing the street, he was texting even though he saw I was going to cross and I had the walk sign in green, a few years later I was doing road work and some lady plowed through the safety barrels and struck me and my coworker....what new danger do I have to fear? Dumb ass drivers are already coming for me. Ride defensively.

[@Quack9Attack6]

My family tells me all the time something like, its not how good of a rider you are its how bad of a driver other people are. It really doesnt matter how good you are ride safe you guys. Happy new years

[@tankerd1847]

I feel like this is a massive oversimplification. You have to be watching drivers and ensure you have the space and distance to maneuver if/when they doing something stupid. Yeah there are situations where you might have no recourse, but there are many more you can avoid.

[@jeffreybussom5584]

This is an excellent video. I use this type of critical thinking every time I ride. Use the accident data to decrease your chances of getting in an accident. It just makes sense. It also doesn’t mean don’t have fun. Pick your spots. Be safe. Enjoy your bike. Don’t drink and ride.

[@CameronLeecooper]

Not only the helmet. These days they have body armour jackets and other equipment that would change a fatal situation to a few wounds

[@CameronLeecooper]

It's the motorists. Besides cell phones it's important to be visible. My bike and helmet are white. But I get attention either with horn or throttle reving for those motorists who are half asleep on the road or on social media platforms.

[@kevindowell6003]

If you look, you can find a study of CHP moto officers. As a result of their extensive comprehensive training and amount of road time, CHP officers had fewer incidents per mile than any other vehicle. I don’t think motorycycle are inherently more dangerous than cars. Bikes can avoid accidents cars can’t. How much does that offset the accidents that are because of being on a motorcycle? Certainly the consequences of an accident are higher on a bike. But if you avoid the accident…Training, practice and riding style most impact safety.

[@Thecelestial1]

Unpopular opinion. I think if we looked more closely at motorcycles we'd see another disparity of reckless riders who die far more often just based on the style of riding. You're telling me a 50 something dude on his harley going 45 an a 20 year old on his squid going 120 both have the same increased chance of death simply because they're both on a motorcycle? I doubt it.

[@chrisgallows7085]

Another unpopular opinion a lot of those 50 something harley riders, at least in my experience, are leaving the bar or clubhouse. So yes, they could have the same chance. Squids are riding stupid cruisers are riding drunk lol

[@tankerd1847]

I was 16 when I started riding. I feely mainly as naieve as this sounds, motorcycles are only as dangerous as you make them. Yes there are a lot of inheriet dangers that you MAINLY can't control however, if you ride responsibly, w/o ur ego, and u practice and are aware, you'll be fine. Also wear gear, even in the JAX heat I at least wear a pair of pants aswell as boots, gloves, and a helmet

[@Portekberm]

I was riding to work and somebody pulled out on me breaking my upper arm and damaging the nerve that moves the hand.. I had an operation and a metal bar in my arm.. That was a year ago, I still can’t use my left arm for carrying even light loads I had to change job, and now I cant get insured, even though the driver admitted liability I loved riding, Though I think it’s worth really considering the risks.. I wouldn’t recommend it for commuting as it increases the risk considerably, particularly in the UK

[@greenxtian]

Been riding for 3 years with a 2006 Aprilia Scarabeo 250, it was my father's, a few months ago I got my A license finally but then an 87 year old driver (certified Greece moment) didn't stop at a stop sing to check for incoming vehicles and I crashed into him returning from work. My scooter didn't have abs so my wheels locked and I couldn't stop. I broke 8 ribs plus a bit of my elbow. My scooter was totaled and after 2 months I'm not yet okay. All of this could've been avoided if I was a bit more cautious of that junction because the other drivers rarely look out of bikes. But I always wear my helmet and it helped that day, saved my from getting something even worse!

It sucks because sometimes even when you’re riding safe, and know the time and place to speed sometimes people still will do something unavoidable. It’s important for motorcycle riders to have things prepared in case of an accident. Having my very premium shoe I rf-1400 helmet saved my life. If I had been wearing anything with less protection I would have died or at the very least had life altering brain injuries after being t boned. I hope everyone stays safe out there!

[@Snowflakeliberal]

Great info...Great topic...Great video. THANKS Yam!!!

[@jimrhea5484]

The 'time and place' rule rules.

[@jimbroen]

Another factor contributing to the higher death rate for older riders is that retirement gives you a lot of spare time. I put on more miles per year than I would in five or ten years during my working life. This past summer I put on 23,000 km. That exposes me to more risk than years where I would ride 2500 km. The percentage of fatal accidents per displacement range provides no meaningful information. It needs to be further correlated with the mileage accrued per category at the very least.

[@martialartsandmotorcycles8726]

You covered this topic very well. Take a MSF course. Ride sober, ride at sane & safe speeds, avoid riding at night or in low visibility conditions. That’s how you stay alive to keep riding and enjoying life.

[@langhamp8912]

All vehicles are inherently dangerous but motorcycles are particularly dangerous. Even if you ride in the daytime, have fully protective gear, ride a low-risk motorcycle, have dirt-bike and trackday experience, and don't ride drunk, you're still at something like 5 times the risk of the average driver. My experience with motorcycles is to try to avoid stroads. That, hands-down, seems to have the most effect in avoiding bad drivers and close calls. Stroads are incredibly dangerous and something like 80% of fatal deaths of all types of vehicles occur on stroads.

[@slow2K2GT]

I watched a lot of DDFM and Yammie before getting my first bike. Until the MSF I hadn't so much as sat on a bike, the week after I bought a 600 and haven't looked back. I stay safe by choosing my moments, and by seizing initiative. I don't wait for a car to make a move, nor do I sit in one spot for any particular amount of time which could allow me to become invisible. I invested in track schools and track days. There I get a better confidence with my machine and when I've crashed was able to walk away. Every second on and off, is a lesson and lesson learned.

[@JoseLgamer05]

I wouldn't think motorcycles as being more dangerous than cars necessarily, but the a car driver is much, MUCH more protected than an individual riding a motorcycle. Both cars and bikes themselves don't really pose any risks to anyone (unless there is an inherent design flaw that makes them suddenly explode or something). It's the way you drive/ride that determines how much risk you are under any given circumstance. So It's about the way you behave while out in the road mainly. The thing is in a bike the consequences of a crash tend to be much greater. Of course there are other bad drivers/riders that will do things that you can't predict and you need to watch out for.

[@tishie42]

The motorcycle itself- zero danger. An untrained, intoxicated, naked, cocky rider is the most dangerous animal on the planet -to itself. Now in-between we have many safe to mid riders. The main crashes are 1 vehicle meaning just the bike. After that it's not riding safe and being in blind spots. You just can't trust any other driver. Even if you are looking them in the eye, never ever trust and have an exit at all times. Riding the right bike is important too. You can have as many as you want but make sure they are good for you is what I was told. Pretty sound. 😂For me, my 10 minutes of practice and brake checks before every ride is crucial and fun. My mid life crisis is riding and I would like to survive it. So I can go back to quilting. 😂 But if I don't survive it, I regret nothing.

The idea that the size of the engine has any direct correlation to how safe it is. Is ridiculous. Or if its more than 1000cc its an oversized "dad" bike? This is just not true in anything but the most extreme examples. The focus on displacement or power output, has very little impact on your ability to unalive yourself. I've had minibikes with 6hp Kohler engines on them. That could do 55-60mph. That's plenty fast enough to hurt yourself. In my humble opinion. Dumb, uncoordinated people. In which theres an increasing number of. Can mangle themselves with the the same level of ease. On almost ANY motorcycle. Including a Honda Grom. In fact. If my memory serves me. I'll go back to the childhood experiences of having our first minibikes and the like. I remember wanting to get all the supposed "tough guys" from my neighborhood. Out with me on a terror ride through our area. This always proved to establish an immediate pecking order. Of who could handle their alcohol and weed. Without either getting busted or wrecking out. Within a matter of days. Only the true sickies would still be roiling around unscathed. Ruling your neighborhood on minibikes is fun! Never underestimate the need for squids to attempt to "act hard" when they get socially intimated. If your getting on a motorcycle to prove something to someone. Its a recipe for disaster.
