The pull of this alternative form of transport are the reduced insurance and fuel costs, which are set to continue rising for car drivers in the future months. A Post Office Survey shows that 14% of women would consider investing in a bike for precisely this reason, with lesser motivations including being more green and beating congestion in cities.

The rise in female riders has led to speculation that they are to blame for the rising number of motorcycle accidents, which is up 30% in the last 10 years. They are more likely to be inexperienced by their male counterparts and their bodies less sustainable to injury. The rise of women motorcyclists of course causes a correlation with the amount of women involved in accidents; however, it is a mistake to believe they are the cause for a rise in accidents in general.

Research has shown that, on average, women riders are safer than male motorcyclists with fewer women involved in motorbike accidents proportionately. Furthermore, while men are often reluctant to take up further training after passing their motorcycle test, women demonstrate a greater interest in advanced rider development training after they have obtained their license. Currently, men are 7 times more likely make a journey on their motorbike, but are involved in 15 times more accidents than women.

The blame should be placed squarely at the door of those middle aged men known as “born-again bikers”. The 30 to 50 year olds are more likely to be involved in a collision due to their lack of experience on powerful motorcycles. Many have not ridden since their teenage years when they owned a bike with a small engine, a scooter or a moped, and are ill equipped to handle a large bike if something goes wrong. Police and road safety campaigners attempting to improve the safety of Britain’s roads have made them the focus of a 10 year road safety campaign.

“At the top of a six story building when working alone as a bricklayer I discovered at the end of the day that I had over 500 pounds of bricks left over. To avoid carrying them down the six storeys by hand I decided I would lower them down using the barrel and pulley attached to the roof.

Once the ropes were secured at ground level I returned to the roof and began to fill up the barrel. I then returned to the ground to free the rope and because the bricks weighed almost 5 times more than I did, I made sure I had a firm grip of the rope before releasing it. As you would imagine I was launched off the ground quite quickly and did not have the common sense to let go of the rope.

Proceeding at a rapid rate up the side of the building I was around the height of the third floor when I collided with the barrel causing the fractured skull and broken collarbone. Continuing my rapid accent I was stopped only by my fingers getting dragged into the pulley system.

Fortunately I had the foresight at this point to retain my tight grip of the rope despite missing half my hand. However at about the same time the barrel crashed to the ground subsequently spilling its entire contents. Now weighing double my opposite load, we began to swiftly change places which accounts for my two fractured ankles and lacerations to my legs and lower body.

Thankfully the collision was enough to make the remaining three storeys fall less fatal. Unfortunately as I lay on the pile of bricks with three broken vertebrae and the formerly mentioned injuries, I did not have the common sense to continue holding on to the rope…
