Older motorcyclists 'more likely to be injured'

[DryRob]

Older folks 3 times more likely to need hospital care after an accident. I can believe that. Throw a 50 year old down the stairs, throw a 2 year old. Kids are more resilient, older bones are not so. Though throwing either is probably not a great idea.

Older folks are probably less likely to ahve that accident in the first place. That's what's missing isn't it?

We'll never work it out from the BBC article, I found the research paper though:
