Fatal Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Motorcycle accidents are especially devastating because the rider is in greater danger than the other driver. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to catastrophic and fatal injuries than other road users because of their heightened sensitivity to collisions.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are 16 times more likely than passengers in enclosed vehicles to be injured or killed in an accident.

Eleven percent of all traffic accidents in the United States involve motorcycles. Almost 5,000 people were killed, and 82,000 were injured on motorcycles in the United States in 2018.

Helmets have been proven to save lives by protecting riders from life-threatening injuries and keeping them safe and sound. Nearly half of all motorcycle deaths can be prevented by wearing a helmet, according to the Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

While protecting your head, the area below the collarbone is also a treasure trove. There are several pieces of motorcycle safety equipment that can help you avoid serious injuries.
