I think that while that graph is interesting to read, it is misleading. For example many more people drive in cars or have strokes or whatever....the control group for these is presumably much much larger than the control group for people who ride motorcycle. For example 1 in 24 out of a group of 200 million is different than 1 in 24 out of a group of 5000. Yes there is potential for getting injured by simply leaving your house in the morning. Ive been riding motorcycles for many years and have never been seriously hurt. But it takes a certainly mechanical savvy and situational awareness that some people don't have, and its kind of scary to think these people are very, very close to seriously hurting themselves.
