- zmgsabst 2y agoYou’re only about 20x as likely to die on a motorcycle as in a car. What can I say? People like to live dangerously.
- alamortsubite 2y agoYes, but you're also far less likely to kill other people on a motorcycle as in a car (and even less, as in an SUV or pick-up truck). So some people live much less dangerously with respect to the people around them.
- HPsquared 2y agoI suppose 20x a low number is still pretty low, especially given that number includes the squid factor.
- spacechild1 2y agoI spent my civil service as a paramedic assistent at the countryside, close to a mountainroad that was very popular with bikers. I was never interested in motorbikes in the first place, but the gruesome accidents I've witnessed turned me off for good.
- ocschwar 2y agoThe Venn diagram for EMTs, paramedics, and motorbikes is disjoint.
