With the hot/humid weather engulfing us, I cant help but notice more and more squids out on the road. Not just sport bike riders but tons of cruiser riders too (I actually see more cruiser riders squidding than any other but thats besides the point). I also cant help but notice that there seems to be a new motorcycle fatalilty/deadly crash every week. With the very vague details thats reported on these incidents It always has me thinking of a few things. Was the rider wearing gear/what type of gear/how long had they been riding?
Especially after hearing about that stunt driver on the set of Deadpool who wasnt wearing a helmet or any gear for that matter, I feel if the news reported these small details it would help educate the public that motorcycling isnt a death wish. That you can mitigate your risk to a certain extent. Obviously there are some things that no one can survive no matter how much gear you're wearing but Ive read the stats on survival rates when it comes to something as simple as wearing a full face helmet opposed to a half face and its remarkable.
What are your thoughts?
