Hmmmmm....
151 people injured in 10 years....
15.1 people injured per year.....
7,000,000 riders per year......
That is an injury rate of about .00023%
Or, to put it another way, that is .216 injuries per 100,000 annual riders.
Perspective, using numbers from 2010....
Motor vehicle deaths in US per 100,000 people annually: 10.9
Firearm deaths in US per 100,000 people annually: 10.3
Motor vehicle injuries per 100,000 people annually: 1080
Horrors!
