Bike Accident Statistics Bike Accident statistics are complex numbers, as with everything else they are subjective and relative. The figures don't always add up to 100%. The detail is not current however it was what was available to work with. I suspect the numbers hide lots of detail, for example the guy who slides off on a corner, his mate picks him and his bike up in the van, he has a few lumps and bumps but is not seriously hurt, and a bent bike - and that's the end of it.Bike Accident Statistics were first invented people have found ingenous ways of falling off them, hitting other road users or inanimate objects, often without help, I'm very sure that the figures don't cover every circumstance.
18% of all bike casualty accidents were involving a single vehicle 28% of these fatalities, 50% occurred on rural roads, and 82% involved loss of bike control,
30% of these accidents involve the bike leaving the road entirely and the rider hitting a solid object, be it a sign, a tree, or a wall..Left hand bends involve 23% of the accidents .Bike Accident Statistics majority of incidents involve Sports bikes with male riders in 26 - 40 year age group.In my opinion these accidents are 95% avoidable with training, good observation, and a degree of restraint saving the day.
