Are women more or less likely to be involved in an accident?

 

I'm reading FAQ's at the section 20 of
http://www.clarity.net/%7Eadam/hurt-report.html
where it's said that:
"Although the majority of the accident-involved motorcycle
riders are male (96%), the female motorcycles riders are
significantly overrepresented in the accident data."

I don't get it to work. The only way that's possible, is if
the share of female raiders is under 4% but that seems
to be far to few. Or isn't it?

It's easy to say a war is so important your neighbor should go fight it for you.

It was performed 1976 through 1981. Now i've look at
the date. Are you saying that the women were so
uninterested in bikes back then?! I'm no expert but it
seems like a VERY heavy discrepancy in numbers... But,
once again, it's just my estimation talking...

In that era attitudes of and toward women were rather different than
they are today.  "Girl on a motorcycle" was so unusual that it was used
as the title of a movie in 1968.
