  1. Impossible to find the total number of motorcycle drag races per year. Rough guess, 28 sanctioned events per year, 13 classes, maybe 6 days, 1 winner & 1 loser each class = 4268+ (yes, that's assuming only two competitors in each class, a number way too low) 2010-2015 there were 3 motorcycle fatalities on drap strips. 2005-2009 there were 8 motorcycle fatalities on drag strips. 2000-2004 there were 4 motorcycle fatalities on drag strips A good percentage are Top Fuel Average one fatality a year 1 in 4268+ per rough guess each year @ sanctioned events (assumed absolute minimum competition of two) annual mortality all causes - one in 121 (mostly disease and medical complications) annual mortality in all accidents - one in 2421 annual mortality in motor vehicle accidents - one in 9708 roughly way more than 36 times more likely to check out from being unhealthy http://dragstripdeaths.webs.com/ Basically, outside of Top Fuel and Pro Stock competitions, unless there's a speed wobble, pretty darn safe. Probably much different per mile traveled, but that's not the point
