And, to add to the fire... How much do we save when someone dies rather than is critically injured. They dont wear a helmet and... POP, there head explodes. DOA. versus two weeks of ICU and then... same result. It is probable that 50% of the time this happens every time. Everytime this happens, millions are saved (made this up too). Motorcycle accidents always probably occur somewhere between 20 and 100% of the time either between a car and a motorcycle, a motorcycle and a motorcycle, or single vehicle typically involving either loss of bowels, control, or consciousness. Now, if we can just lower the rate of bowel loss, that would be a 33% reduction. Unfortunately studies have not been able to show if the bowels were released pre or post collision.
