Poll Question:
This is another area I'm checking in correlation of things with crashes.
Let's use the definition of a crash as one requiring medical treatment or one where an insurance claim was made. If you feel one that doesn't meet this criteria yet was serious enough to include, feel free to.

| This poll is starting to get to a point where it may have some statistical significance. Please take a minute and respond to it. |

I voted thus: took the course, did not have a crash.
but... I did:
- drop the bike once or twice (oh, OK then, maybe more than that it we're being specific here)
- have a few very close calls
- and, may very well have had a nasty accident had I not read the story about target fixation on this site

When I started this poll, I did it with the idea of getting a general idea if BRC is effective in preventing crashes. On the surface, it appears to be. The numbers are even big enough to start to assume statistical significance.
However, looking at the colors of the lines for members and non-members, it appears that participation in this forum is the factor that prevents crashes. (Look at the gold lines.)
Nice job, James. |
