  • I checked the stats in my country, where 55% of contributing factors are assigned to motorcyclists in collisions involving them. Due to how this data is produced, that doesn’t mean 55% of accidents involving them were found to be the fault of motorcyclists, but it means that a significant number of motorbike accidents are the fault of the rider, whichever way you slice it.

    Rates of serious injury/death are about 2000 per billion passenger miles for motorbikes, of which 100 are deaths. Haven’t been able to find the same stats for GA though.

    There are arguments that comparing passenger-miles isn’t reasonable for activities like GA and motorbiking which are done for pleasure as well as for transport, in which case flying looks worse.
