motorcyclist`s must be suicidle?

Answer 1

More people die in cars, and a huge percent of motorbike riders deaths are cause by people that dont look or cann't drive. wouldn't that make it just as fair, if not more, to say car drivers are homocidle?

Answer 2

The United States has on average 42,000 car crash related deaths a year that's a Incidence Rate: of approx 1 in 59 or 1.68% for anyone who gets in a car. I guess you could say driving is suicidal.

Yet in 1998 only 2,284 motorcyclists died.

Of the 24,672 suicide deaths reported among men in 2001, 60% involved the use of a firearm.

Suicide Risk Factors

The first step in preventing suicide is to identify and understand the risk factors. A risk factor is anything that increases the likelihood that persons will harm themselves. However, risk factors are not necessarily causes. Research has identified the following risk factors for suicide (DHHS 1999):

* Previous suicide attempt(s)
* History of mental disorders, particularly depression
* History of alcohol and substance abuse
* Family history of suicide
* Family history of child maltreatment
* Feelings of hopelessness
* Impulsive or aggressive tendencies
* Barriers to accessing mental health treatment
* Loss (relational, social, work, or financial)
* Physical illness
* Easy access to lethal methods
* Unwillingness to seek help because of the stigma attached to mental health and substance abuse disorders or suicidal thoughts
* Cultural and religious beliefs—for instance, the belief that suicide is a noble resolution of a personal dilemma
* Local epidemics of suicide
* Isolation, a feeling of being cut off from other people

Answer 3

I dunno....personally, I love life - especially when riding. But Im a type "A" personality - I live for the danger...

As for you, there is no excuse for your disgustingly pitiful spelling. Suicidle??? thats taking Ebonics one step too far jackoff. Try using spell check. Its SUICIDAL..... So, I might have a death wish, but at least I can read the friggin signs as I approach them!

Answer 4

have you ever ridden on a bike ?
There is this most incredible, exciting feeling ,its the sound, the way that you lean over around the bends ,the way that you have to feel the machine and go with it .Its exhilarating ! and the fact that it is dangerous somehow makes you feel so free, like nothing else matters, its great you must try it!!
We are not suicidal just enjoying life to the full ,at 120 mph you know you're alive ....

Answer 5

well i would have to agree...but they r not all so stupid some people r well educated on bikes when they decide to purchase them...i used to have this charge nurse over me who had a Harley her and her husband both & they rode together all the time i thought it was sweet anyway they both took safety classes all the time and wore their helmets ..the classes taught them how to drive safely in different weather like if they hit ice or rain or what ever...and the best ways to avoid accidents ...so if you r well educated on them they can be somewhat safe...but still most people i know dont go threw all that they just hop on & take off and they r the stupid ones with a death wish!!

Answer 6

Motorcycles aren’t for everyone. Many young guys on their crotch rockets have no business out there. They do look kind’a suicidal to me, but motorcycles can be pretty cool if you ride responsibly. I fly hang gliders too, that can also be dangerous, but very rewarding as well. Know and accept the risks, live life.

Answer 7

bikes are safe if you now how to ride them the problem is the state of the roads and the lack of educathon???? of most car drivers on phones.playing with car sterio,s.picking up fags thay dropt no mate not suicidle mad may be to go on the road with so meny car drivers

Answer 8

I don't agree with that. I think rather than being suicidal - they are taking their chances. You could apply the same hypothesis to parachuhters, car-drivers, people walking out late at night or any other scenario one might deem to be risking of one's life.

Living in it's self could even be classed as suicidal.

Answer 9

I agree,i have known lots of lovely young men who have been killed on motorbikes. The poor relatives.
Think motor bikes are the most frightening mode of transport there is on the roads today.

Answer 10

No, but there is a reason why doctors refer to them as 'organ donors.' You are very vulnerable on a bike and alot of bikers (and drivers) don't realise their fragility until it is too late.
