Table 6 shows 6 total deaths in Alaska, of which 3% were over 0.8% BAC. That equates to 0.18 riders. How does 0.18 of a rider maintain control of a bike? You would think someone would proof read this shit.

Facts get in the way of a story.

ND only state where 100% of the fatalities were non helmeted!
Wearing a lid in ND will save your life!

If they were on their way back from an ABATE rally, they probably wouldn't have a lid and would have survived.

Looking at that chart I noticed the numbers were all over the place. I'd guess that states that had such a high number of deaths of motorcyclists wearing helmets, are probably states that require helmets. The numbers at the bottom are totals of all states combined. With some states requiring the use of helmets, that chart does't prove squat about whether or not the helmet saved or cost the rider his life.

More likely to be an idiot, if you draw that conclusion from the article.

I hope you aren't teaching those kids anything. At least give them a fighting chance.

That's why they are dead.

It is tough enough to maintain control as only 1/5 of a rider but it's nearly impossible when you're drunk too!
