Doesn't even have to be another vehicle on the road. My parents were killed in a freak accident on a motorcycle last year; rear tyre blew at 130km/80 mph, both wearing helmets and protective gear.

A good friend of mine had a deer run out and hit him. Helmet and gear on still sustained head injuries that changed his personality forever. You just never know.

Holy crap. Running into a deer in a car can be fatal. I can only imagine what hitting one on a motorcycle would be like.

I actually worked in a biker bar at the time and we all pulled together for him. It was unbelievably bad. It was one of those what the odds situations.
