12. USN/USMC FY 06 – 07 Motorcycle Class A Profile FY06 FY07 Note the significant number of untrained riders who died.
FY08 Fatality Rate is generally on par with FY07. It is still too early to determine any significant trend for any service.
FY07 Class A Mishaps November 2008 NSC used the new data collected from PMV-MIR reports to isolate fatalities by type motorcycle. Military, sport bikes are involved in a significant number of motorcycle fatalities. National is not as pronounced but the National data is from 2005. The significance drove the need for a Sport Bike specific training plan. Next Next
Training and Stand down focus areas should be focused on historical high fatality time frames.
BASES WITH KNOWN TRAINING MOTORCYCLES 4 @ MCAS Yuma (2-200cc & 2-250cc) Camp Pendleton MCAS Miramar 15 @ MCB Quantico (donated by Virginia Motorcycle League) 11 @ NAS Pensacola 2 @ NOB Norfolk TRAINING BIKES:
Motor vehicle trends have been tracking down Cars are becoming safer More riders are wearing seat belts DUI’s have decreases Motorcycle trends have been tracking up Bikes are becoming more powerful More riders are on the road (more popular, higher gas prices, cheaper than cars) Military are returning from deployments with more ready cash
DON figures parallel National figures as far as age of riders and fatalities. Speed or Loss of Control are leading factors, especially for Sport Bikes. Nationally in 2005 Speed was a factor in 57% of the Sport Bike fatal crashes. Training is either not documented or not complied with. The focus for the future will be to reach all riders with training! Priority will be first year riders who account for 48 Percent of the fatalities. Riding Experience 18-26 yrs old – Less than six months 27-34 yrs old – A little over 5 yrs. 35+ yrs old - Greater than 10 yrs.
Marine Fatalities are highest in California, and North California Camp Pendleton, CA and Cherry Point, NC have been selected to lead the Sport Bike Rider Course. (Pendleton start: December) (Cherry Point start: March) Navy Fatalities are highest in California, Florida and Virginia Camp Pendleton and San Diego have joined forces to provide the Sport Bike Rider Course. Florida and Virginia are also early to begin. (Jacksonville start: February) (Virginia start: March) Navy and Marine Key rider coaches from the high risk states have been selected to become Rider Coach Train-the-Trainers. (April) They will become qualified to teach Rider Coaches in their area, and the Sport Bike Course so that it can be implemented as soon as possible. Currently California and Jacksonville are teaching the Sport bike class on a regular basis.
California, Florida and Virginia are our highest fatality regions. Additionally: All three states are fleet concentration areas California and Florida have riding seasons that last almost the full year. All three states have concentrations of both Navy and Marines North and South Carolina have the next highest fatalities. They are home to a high concentration of Marine units.
West Coast Fatalities are centered in California. East Coast Fatalities are distributed across the Eastern Seaboard with the highest fatality rates in the same latitude equivalents as California. Gulf and Central States are reasonably safe for riding because of a wide variety of reasons: No fleet commands. No concentration areas Widely distributed commands More rural and less cosmopolitan areas Weather not conducive to long riding seasons To reduce motorcycle mishaps the focus and funds should primarily be distributed along the East and West Coast Fleet concentration areas, and Along the Gulf Coast commands.

The object is to keep you alive and you’re out there doing things that could either KILL you or cause you serious bodily injury.
