I spent my civil service as a paramedic assistent at the countryside, close to a mountainroad that was very popular with bikers. I was never interested in motorbikes in the first place, but the gruesome accidents I've witnessed turned me off for good.

The Venn diagram for EMTs, paramedics, and motorbikes is disjoint.

You’re only about 20x as likely to die on a motorcycle as in a car.

What can I say? People like to live dangerously.

Yes, but you're also far less likely to kill other people on a motorcycle as in a car (and even less, as in an SUV or pick-up truck). So some people live much less dangerously with respect to the people around them.

I suppose 20x a low number is still pretty low, especially given that number includes the squid factor.
