Due to their small profile and the limited protection they afford riders, motorcycles have a high risk of being involved in accidents with passenger cars and trucks, and motorcyclists are significantly more likely to suffer life-threatening injuries in the event of a collision. In fact, statistics show that, per vehicle mile traveled in 2007, motorcycle riders were about 37 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a collision, and nine times more likely to be injured.
