Riding a motorcycle is a lot of fun. But it can be very dangerous. 

When a motorcycle accident occurs, there is a high likelihood of severe injuries because motorcycles do not have the safety features present in cars like seat belts and airbags. 

In 2019: 

-The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) reported an estimated 84,000 motorcycle accidents, 5,014 died in the crash. 

-The KDOT (Kansas Department of Transportation) reported a total of 815 motorcycle accidents, 40 were fatal and 750 were injured in the crash. 

-MODOT (Missouri Department of Transportation) reported that 876 lives were lost in Missouri traffic crashes and 118 motorcyclists were killed. 

So, the best way to avoid becoming the next motorcycle accident victim is to pay serious attention to safety. If you are going to ride a motorcycle, it is important you learn some tips on how to avoid accidents.
