I’ve had a few bike accidents (usually me vs a trash can that suddenly rolled onto the bike lane, or similar obstructions of the road) where I had to go to the ER.
I obviously had to wait a few hours, because while I may have a concussion and broken some bones, there are people with far worse injuries in the ER.
One time I had to wait 12 hours because a major car accident had happened, and I saw them move the victims of that into the ER.
I was instantly reminded of the difference in danger, and very glad that my injuries happened with a 20 kg vehicle at 20 km/h, and not a 2000 kg vehicle at 100 km/h.
