Having been on site as they cut someone out of a Metro only to have them bleed out before they could get to the victims, I’d say that you need to do some observation.

As for automatic relays... they don’t always work in a crash. That’s why fire departments are having to train up on hybrids specifically because of this issue.

Also, seeing as how there’s a large number of idiot kids on bikes as well as idiot newbie middle-age-crisis riders out there, I’m not surprised by those stats. That *should* come down as the squids and the RUBbies lose their taste (and cash to pay for) their toys.

I work in an ER. I see many people cut out of cars. Motorcyclists in similar accidents do to go to the ER, no need.

The risk of being on a motorcycle is an order of magnitude greater.
