Do the statistics change if I'm Asian?
In 2006 (found those stats), 35 "Asians" were among the 4,837 motorcyclists killed in MVA, <1%, compared to 118 "Asian" pedestrians killed in MVA, comprising 2.5% of all such pedestrian deaths.
"Asians" accounted for ~4.8% of the US population at the time, so those stats seem to indicate the people of Asian decent (not sure all whom that includes, maybe Indian and Pakistani and Pacific Islanders among the Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, etc.etc. *shrug*) comprise a smaller portion of motorcycle deaths than their population percentage might suggest... either not enough Asian motorcyclists out there, or y'all are decent enough riders And are decent enough pedestrians. I'm not sure what it says about the condition of your organs on impact though
