More travel stats:
Motorcycle riding is by far the most dangerous of the common ways to travel. For every 100 million trips, more than 10,000 motorcyclist injuries and more than 500 deaths are recorded. To put that in perspective, that’s a one in 1 chance of injury per motorcycle ride, compared to a one in a million chance of injury while riding the bus.
In the United States, there are more fatalities among hikers than among those traveling by car. You’re nearly twice as likely to die walking down the road as driving in your car, although hikers suffer far fewer injuries than car drivers. Car users are four times more likely to be injured than pedestrians.
Of all the methods of travel in the world, flying is statistically the safest in terms of fewer dead passengers per mile.
