I am not just a petition starter; I am a motorcycle rider who values safety as much as the thrill of the ride. Understanding the inherent risks associated with riding a motorcycle, I, like many other riders, acknowledge the necessity of airbags for our motorcycles. Nevertheless, the prohibitive cost of decent airbags remains a significant challenge.

Statistics have shown that motorcycle riders are 28 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a crash per vehicle mile traveled. Contrary to this, the high cost of safety measures, such as quality airbags, creates a barrier for riders seeking to enhance their safety on the road (Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

Given the importance of these safety measures, and understanding the financial constraints many riders face, we call on our government to institute a rebate for motorcycle airbags. This measure will not only make these crucial safety devices more accessible to all riders but will also reflect a move towards prioritizing rider safety.

More riders' lives can be saved, and the fatality rate decreased significantly if the necessary safety equipment were more affordable. Let's advocate for a safer riding environment by supporting this petition. Sign now, and help us make motorcycle airbags financially accessible to all.
