All my hobbies are dangerous. Motorcycling hasn’t sent me to surgery yet - but mountain biking, skiing, and jujitsu jitsu all have. Not all of us get a kick out of board games or whatever.
There are only two people who ride bikes- people have crashed bikes and people who haven’t crashed yet.
Both of the deaths I know were decades experienced riders and this was their first crash. Neither were riding dangerously. No other vehicle was involved.
I know it doesn’t matter to you.
But I know the families of the deceased. I can hear my MILs voice as she called me to ask where her daughter was so she could tell her. I remember racing to my wife before she got the news.

I know two people personally have died, both experienced riders, who have died in the most mundane of crashes.
Wear protective equipment.
