Did you double check that your lower insurance rates aren't due to non-existant injury/medical and uninsured motorist coverage, reduced value of the vehicle, and the vehicle being classified as a recreational vehicle vs daily driver?
(450lbs motorcyle + 160lb rider) vs 60lb child = death.
Riding a motorcycle while impaired, is one of the leading causes of motorcycle fatalities. Failing to wear PPE accounts for a significant number of potentially non-fatal accidents becoming fatal. Distracted riding is also on the rise. This doesn't seem to imply motorcyclists are inherently more aware of their surroundings or making better decisions due to the increased danger.

Your conclusion doesn't make sense though, there is a ridiculous amount of selection bias in there: they only looked at people who died... By and far motorcyclists are very safety concious people, they have to be: those who aren't tend to quit quickly, one way or another. Personally, I have ridden a motorcycle as my primary form of transportation for over 30 years without any meaningful incidents
