Things like that are just out of your control, and just plain life threatening, whereas in a vehicle you'd be annoyed with some car repairs and likely unscathed as a person.

I remember going by a motorcycle accident and seeing the motorcycle helmet a very far distance away from the body/bike. Saw it on the news afterwards that it was a fatality.
Apparently fatalities also skew heavily against motorcyclists, something like 30 times more likely.
You'd see the odd police chase online and the horrific outcomes when the human body gets up to speed on a bike and the you can see why. I think it was just last year, the impact was so crazy the guy cartwheeled and basically lost all his clothes. Nightmares of just the ragdolling.
