Fatal Motorcycle Crash Statistics

Accidents involving motorcycles are particularly devastating because they put the rider in more danger than the other party. Motorcycle riders are especially sensitive to crashes and are more prone to endure catastrophic and fatal injuries than others.

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

Motorcycles account for 11 percent of all traffic accidents in the United States. In 2018, there were 82,000 motorbike injuries and 4,985 motorcycle deaths.

Helmets are proven to save lives, keeping riders safe and protected from life-threatening injuries. According to the IIHS, helmets are around 37 percent effective in preventing motorcycle deaths and 67 percent effective in preventing brain injuries.

In addition to safeguarding your head, the region below the collarbone is also rich in natural resources. Protective gear, including gloves, jackets, pants, suits, and shoes, can help you avoid major motorbike injuries like road rash.
