Ouch.
My Uncle Allen calls them "donorcycles."
Your unfortunate cousin presents a convincing case.
As opposed to being roasted to a cinder when that 600V battery pack shorts out through the shattered chassis - and you.
The chances of being seriously injured when an accident happens is greater on a bike than in a small car - but, oddly enough, your chances of *surviving* a severe accident is better if you ride a bike than if you drive a small car (they don't have to cut you out of the wreckage - it's a scoop and run job).
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt and my shattered helmet still hangs on the wall - but I'm still here.
