Comments on: No Surprise, Older Riders Wind Up in Hospital More Often After Crash http://www.usridernews.com/no-surprise-older-riders-wind-up-in-hospital-more-often-after-crash/ Motorcycle Magazine News and Entertainment Thu, 23 May 2013 02:26:53 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: vegasvfr http://www.usridernews.com/no-surprise-older-riders-wind-up-in-hospital-more-often-after-crash/#comment-442365 vegasvfr Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:50:06 +0000 http://www.usridernews.com/?p=15270#comment-442365 I think the analysis is flawed. I find riders over 60 tend to be more conservative, wear protective gear more, and ride more conservatively powered machines. The increased visits to the hospital may be due to older riders have insurance, and are more likely to get care than younger riders who may not have insurance or self help themselves after an accident. Those factors were not discussed in the article. Older rider want to know what the hurt means where younger riders may just suck it up, and live with the pain hopeing it heals ok. Further analysis is needed to validate the findings…..

People over 60 are 3 times more likely to be hospitalized if the fall on an icy sidewalk.
