In 2017, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that motorcyclists were 27 times more likely than the occupants of passenger vehicles to die in an accident when traveling the same number of miles. In that same year, there were 8,715,204 registered motorcycles and a total of 5,172 motorcycle accident victim fatalities. These numbers break down to 59.34 deaths per 100,000 registered motorcycles and 25.67 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled.
