Guy is arguing that Dirt Bikes are safer than cars??
He says..less people get killed on dirtbikes than in cars, therefore bikes are safer. He goes on to say that he has been into dirtbikes and has never known of anyone being killed, and yet people die in cars all the time...
How do you talk sense into some people??? |

Sounds like talking any sense into him is a lost cause.

Him- Cause it's fun. If rather get hurt having fun than be safe and bored
We are adrenaline junkies No matter how many bones I break I'll always get back on the bike Other freind: Got that right some people get there thrills in a different way we just want that adrenaline but stuff happens its not going to stop me from doing what I have to do to enjoy my life no point living if I'm not enjoying it until I'm gone My response= A broken spine will surely put a damper on your outdoor activities.... |

I rode dirt bike from when I was 18 to my early 30s. I crashed plenty of times, sometimes quite spectacularly Enclosed vehicles are much safer than open modes of transportation. |

He's right on the numbers. Less people die riding butterflies as well.
While the complete explanation might include the exponentially greater number of people in cars than on dirt bikes, it may be lost on his sparkling intellect. Why do you care? |

The proposed argument is so incredibly stupid, it does not merit a serious response
