Technically, all types of vehicles can be deadly. However, motorcycles are inherently more dangerous than cars or trucks due to the lack of protection surrounding the rider. Cars are made of tons of metal and glass which surround the occupants. Additionally, cars have seatbelts and airbags that can save lives in the event of a car accident. Motorcycles don’t have any of these features. If a car or truck hits them, they can immediately become crushed under the vehicle. They can also be ejected from the motorcycle and skid across the road. On top of all of these dangers, many motorcycle riders don’t wear helmets or thick clothing like leather or denim. So if they were to get into an accident, their entire body is exposed. That’s why so many motorcycle accident victims suffer severe head injuries, lacerations, burns, amputations, and oftentimes – death.
