That's why motorcycles are becoming comparatively less safe; none of the many advances in automobile safety can apply to them. People on the front lines of highway accidents have noticed the changes in cars due to crumple zones and the like:

> I have been in the emergency services for a little over 20 years now. Back in the late 90's we were cutting people, out of cars almost daily, and they where almost all dead or very close to it. Fast forward 20 years, and at the same speed collisions, when we stop on scene, people are standing next to the cars swapping insurance info. It is truly amazing to see a car that has disintegrated, and the people are fine.

> It also smells different. Back in the day you could smell all the stuff that was in the car...batteries would rupture, fuel lines would leak, oil all over the road. Drinking and driving was also more common, so you could smell blood and booze. Those smells are all but gone -- only very high speed accidents smell like that now. --https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/brg6uy/cop_car_didnt_s...
