Are motorcycles more dangerous than all the other options?

3 Million views from this post:

"Amazing how much more dangerous motorbikes are than all the other options “A motorcyclist who traveled 15 miles every day for a year had an astonishing 1 in 860 chance of dying. A person who took a 500 mile flight every day for a year would have a fatality risk of 1 in 85,000.”

Clearly, this was in 2009 before Boeing 737 MAX planes!

ACTUAL DATA:

"In the USA, the odds of dying in a motorcycle accident are about 1 in 61,487 based on the latest data from 2020"

🚨 So, it's quite skewed. 🚨

Wow. I always knew motorcycles were the worst in this regard, but I never imagined just how much.
