Motorcyclists have become full members of the movement for a long time.Every year the number is growing.Motorcycle ride people of all ages, regardless of religion, politics and trade.They are united by love for their "iron horses".Unfortunately, it is increasing the number of victims of road accidents involving bikers.Ultimately, this led to what appeared Memorial Day motorcyclists.
Some statistics
figures show that the number of deaths increased in all countries.For example, in the US in 2010 recorded 4502 cases of deaths involving bikers.But only the first 9 months of 2011 - 4,500 of these accidents.
in Russia ends with the death of 45% of all accidents involving motorcycles.60% of accidents occur at night.50% of all cases - a scene with a fixed object.It is surprising that the majority of road accidents occur on weekends, when it would seem, the movement is not as intense as in everyday life.
The average age of the victims is 22-38 years.
Of course, the biggest part of the accidents happen in the period from early spring to late autumn.At this time on the road all the owners leave the two-legged metal horse, nicknamed by the people "snowdrops", along with the motorists who do not travel on the road in winter.
Most motorcyclists are in East Asia, where among all the victims of the accident 4% are they.

In general, the greatest number of accidents involving bikers happens to men.Only 1% of the victims - women.Memorial Day motorcyclists also appeared accidental.One accident was so resonant, that could not be overlooked.Most likely, it was because it killed the young girl.
