While riding a motorcycle is a cost-effective means of transportation for some and an exciting hobby for others, there are often great risks involved when getting on these vehicles. Motorcycles offer little protection beyond a helmet, which can lead to serious personal injuries in the event of an accident.
Motorcyclists often suffer from devastating injuries, such as:
Brain injuries
Spinal injuries
Amputations
Severe burns
Broken bones

Some of the common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
Sudden stops
Unsafe lane changes
Failing to yield
Speeding
Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
Distracted driver
