Motorcycle and Horse
According to the UK Stoke Mandeville hospital, who have conducted a study on accidents, a motorcycle rider is 21 times less likely to suffer a serious accident than a horse rider.

The statistics show that a horse rider has a serious accident on average within 350 hours, while a motorcycle rider has one on average every 7500 hours !!

But I don't see governments trying to hinder horseback riding !!!

And talk about pollution... I Agree Smiley

    The UK Stoke Mandeville hospital??? Who's ever even heard of that place? What a crock. In Southern California almost every weekend the ambulance is dragging some sport biker off to the hospital. At my ranch we rarely see serious injuries from the horses and riders. Let's get serious.

    Twink, do a Google on the hospital... they're UK's leading spinal cord hospital.

    You've got to look at ratio's, not the numbers. There are a hell of a lot more motorcycle riders than that there are horse riders. Of course there will be more motorcycle accidents. But at the end, it's the accident ratio's that count.

    Motorcycles don't have a mind of their own and deliberately try to injure their riders (wiht the possible exception of old Kawasaki two-stroke triples.

    There is also an assumption that horses are 'safe" for kids - not so, as anyone who has had anything to do with them knows.
