There were 3,382 motorcycle fatalities in the United States in 2003.

Every year, approximately 50,000 motorcyclists receive injuries in motorcycle crashes. Many motorcyclists suffer serious injuries when involved in accidents because of the lack of protection that the motorcycle provides as compared to other types of vehicles. A majority of motorcycle related fatalities occur when the victim suffers an injury to the head. Approximately 80% of all motorcycle accidents result in a fatality, compared to the approximate 20% injury/fatality rate of passenger vehicles.

In the state of Nevada all motorcyclists are required by law to wear helmets, unless they ride mopeds that are 50cc or less and go no faster than 30 miles per hour. In addition to a properly fitting helmet, motorcyclists are required to wear eye protection unless their vehicle is outfitted with a proper windscreen. Nevada law states that motorcycle drivers must obtain a class M license in order to legally operate of a motorcycle. This license is required to assure that the driver has passed a written knowledge test and an approved skills test at the DMV or an approved training school.

Some of the serious injuries and disabilities that may result from a motorcycle crash include:

• Amputation
• Broken bones
• Neck and back injury
• Paralysis
• Skull fracture
• Spinal cord injury
• Traumatic brain injury

Inadequately maintained roads, bad weather conditions, negligent and reckless drivers, and poorly posted signs are just a few factors that place motorcyclists at risk for harm each day.
