Fellow sportbike rider (late model R6) - Thank you for sharing that article, even I was surprised to see such a low incidence of fractures.

I was curious what the corresponding data would be for brain injuries, and found the below, which is also surprisingly low.

Musculoskeletal injuries represented the vast majority (88.43%) of the 191 encounters registered in the acute setting, while concussions were diagnosed in only 1.57%. The most common orthopedic motorcycle injuries were upper extremity contusions while the most common anatomical area for fractures was the hand.
