  7. So….. What does this have to do with me? If you are a rider, every time you get on the road, you are in danger. Ride like your life depends on it….IT DOES !!!!! Never assume the right-of-way while riding. It does not hurt any less, just because a crash was someone else's fault ! If you are not sure if you are riding too fast, You are riding too fast !!! When you ride, you are the only person that can save your life ! STUPID HURTS ! RIDE SMART ! PDC 2014 by Don Borkoski as of 3 March 2014

  10. Experience FactorUSN PMV2 Fatal by Experience (FY09 to FY14 to date) First Year Riders are most at risk !!!! Commands: Assign a sponsor to your first and second year riders !!!

  12. Gas Price Effect USN PMV-2 Fatalities FY06-FY14 • Synopsis • Higher gas prices corresponds to increase in PMV-2 work day fatalities • Workday riding increases exposure and potential for mishaps. • Prior to the MSRC impact (FY09), fatality distribution was evenly distributed day, night and weekend. PDC 2014 by Don Borkoski as of 3 March 2014

  13. Sport vs Non-SportUSN PMV-2 Fatalities Synopsis Sportbikefatalities remain higher than Non-sportbike fatalities. Sportbikes are more challenging to ride and see. Higher level training has and will continue to help reduce mishaps.

  14. Why do we train motorcycle riders?Aren’t there other options? PDC 2014 by Don Borkoski as of 3 March 2014

  15. Safety Improvement Methods The 3-E’s • There are options to improve safety. • These options are categorized as the 3-E’s • Engineering is the first and most effective option. • Withengineering, you can build something safer. • In some cases you can remove the risk completely. • Unfortunately, engineering can be very expensive. • Enforcementis the least effective option. • Enforcement is a good checks-and-balances • Enforcement is limited to the number of enforcers. • Education.is very effective and often the cheaper option. • Education improves: • Knowledge, skill, risk management and awareness of limitations. • Education makes it less likely that an individual will let themselves be involved in a mishap. 3-E’s Safety ENGINEERING ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION CLICK HERE FOR 3-E ZOOM PDC 2014 by Don Borkoski as of 3 March 2014

  16. Safety Improvement Catagorized by the 3-E’s • Engineering • 2011: ABS brakes • 2012: Traction control • 2013-14: Automobile radar braking • Engineering usually requires industry changes. • It is expensive and often beyond our ability to control. • Enforcement • 2010: Required ESAMS and MSR • 2012: No DoD decal requirement reduced “underground” ridership • 2012: No DoD decal has forced commands to track rider training • Enforcement is beyond our control in the civilian sector. • On-base enforcement can drive riders underground who do not receive training • Education • 2004: Better availability with Contract training • 2008: MSRC reduced sport bike mishaps • 2010: MSR’s increased the training compliance • 2011: ERC has introduced much needed risk management • Education is our most effective tool providing lifesaving skills and knowledge • Education is not cheap, • but saves millions of lost dollars for each mishap mitigated or prevented PDC 2014 by Don Borkoski as of 3 March 2014

  17. What other Motorcycle policies will help? PDC 2014 by Don Borkoski as of 3 March 2014

  18. Motorcycle Mentorship Every first year rider needs a mentor ! Learning “the hard way”, doesn’t make you bad, it just means you were too stupid to learn from someone else  • Encourage motorcycle mentorship • MSR’s can act as initiators • Keep it simple • Group rides • Training sessions • Inspect bikes before rides (TCLOCS) • Leadership involvement will ensure success • Want to live? Learn to: • Manage your own Risk Watch your buddy’s six PDC 2014 by Don Borkoski as of 3 March 2014
