A friend studying prosthetics told me half the recipients are motorcyclists.

Riding a motorbike is amazing fun, but if you ride long enough, something terrible will happen. Every rider has a story of an accident. Although you are more manoeuvrable than a car, can get out ahead of traffic, are smaller, can see more, and are more keenly alert... a little tap you'd hardly notice in a car can kill you.
