It is quite strange how even with high-tech safety devices in a 1-2 ton protective steel cage there are still ~45,000 highway deaths a year and nobody scolds anybody in the US of A about the much greater risk of dying/getting maimed in a car crash. In a perfect world, more people would ride and therefore have more respect for other riders while driving (the Dutch effect) and this wouldn't be such a horrendous/tragic issue. Smart & safe riding and driving are a better solution than styrofoam.
