The role of sales of new motorcycles in a recent increase in motorcycle mortality rates
Article Abstract:
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) fatality analysis reporting system and annual sales figure for on-road motorcycles are used to determine if newer motorcycles were more likely to be involved in fatal crashes. It is suggested that the deaths of growing numbers of motorcyclists are a consequence of the financial success of the motorcycle industry.
