Sort of, but you are also at the mercy of everyone around you. So are people in cars and trucks, but you can still lose a collision in a car and survive. Your odds are a lot worst on a bike.

I am not anti-motorcycle, I just hate seeing stuff like this. I don't know what happened. Maybe the motorcyclist was at fault, maybe he was in the right and the semi truck was at fault. Either way, it's a lose-lose situation for all involved. I just hope he is OK.
