The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reports that nearly 5,300 motorcyclists were killed in accidents in the US in 2008. Between 1997 and 2008, motorcycle rider deaths increased from 2,116 to 5,290. That’s a 150 percent jump, according to U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System. In 2008 alone, deaths due to motorcycle crashes increased by an estimated 2.2 percent. Even the most conscientious rider is at risk for accidents. With or without a helmet and protective safety gear, motorcycle accident victims often experience the most damaging types of injuries as compared to auto accidents.
