Certainly a good point. But with motorcycles, and bicycles, even in minor
accidents, you are more likely to hit your head. Just because you fall
over. You don't need to be flying through the air. I went to church with a
guy who go into a fight with someone on the street. I don't remember the
details but he knocked the guy over and his head hit the curb and it killed
the guy he was fighting. Completely unintentional, but he did jail time for
it. It doesn't take much to get a bad head injury.
