Motorcycles

Looking around the highways, you might guess that there is one motorcycle for every 20 cars. Maybe 30. But working on an ambulance it might seem like half the vehicles involved in accidents are motorcycles. I know that's not true, but what does seem to be true (in my limited experience) is that half of motor vehicle accidents in which someone has to go to the hospital involve a motorcycle. And who is the one going to the hospital? It's always the guy on the motorcycle, never the guy in the car. So it seems to me a very disproportionate number of MVA victims going to the hospital are motorcycle guys. I think this is part of what makes motorcycles cool. They show less regard for personal safety than any other mode of transportation, which is very cool.
