Poll: Biker Injuries Thread

[Burnsy2023]

So, it's well known that bikers can have some nasty accidents, but I'm curious to know how many and how bad.

Can we have a poll for the following options?

Q: Have you had an accident as a biker after passing your full test?

Yes, and it required hospital treatment and surgery
Yes, it required hospital treatment
Yes, but it didn't require hospital treatment
No, I haven't had an accident whilst biking
Pancake. I'm not a biker but I feel the need to press a button.

As a rather new learner, I was hoping this thread would prove to me that most bikers don't have more metal in them than robocop. I can't say it's working.

I think the question should have asked about injuries received where 3rd parties are involved i.e. cars, pedestrians, animals etc , as theres no accounting for silliness, running out of talent or just plain bad luck for the self inflicted ones

I wasn't really interested in why an accident happened, just that it did. I know that if you're an Arctic fisherman, regardless of whether you it's your fault or not, there's a lot that could go wrong. I know biking isn't as safe as driving, but I just wanted an idea of how many people had accidents resulting in injuries.
