Youre comparing people who suffered fatal traffic accidents while trying to help others to spooked animals, and also blaming them for it. Kinda bad?

It sounds odd that motorcycles cause so much death specifically in the Peace Corps and nowhere else in society that they need to be banned due to a significant loss of personnel to motorcycle death.

Because there aren't traffic laws in these countries, drink driving is super normalized, and the roads are bad. If it makes the thread feel better lots of uneducated, poor black and brown people also die at an alarming rate in the host countries from moto accidents. Not having a graduate degree doesn't suddenly make you a poo poo-hot motorcycle man who is impervious to being T-boned by a Toyota Hiace loaded with goats. 500excf type r posted:I'm the peace Corp volunteer getting mad at being called privileged We get it, you're better at motorcycles than those grad students. You're the motorcycle man. You gave yourself a motorcycle name and a cool picture doing a motorcycle jump. If you lived in Africa you would ride your motorcycle every day and not die because you didn't go to college. Motorcycles.

That's what I don't get. Yeah, motorcycles lol people everywhere but are they really the number one cause of death in the peace corps? Wouldn't actually surprise me of they weren't, but I'm going full Zoolander "but why motorcycles??" here.

Vehicle Deaths were the leading cause of Peace Corps deaths in the period before the ban, with motorcycles having an insanely outsized fatality ratio within that category. In addition, it also was a leading cause of permanent injury requiring the person to leave their assignment.

Seemed to me like you were celebrating volunteer death as a motorcycle-knower and justifying it as fine because they are suburban white people. Its no secret that the Peace Corps has its share of privileged ideologues, but its still a bad take. Like, suburban whites are pretty low hanging fruit and you wanna take the easy jab, but insinuating these deaths were inevitable based on class is super weird. And you want to belabor the point by saying I'm privileged. Sure. You can do this with any conversation but it just comes across as uncreative and bitter. People are born with privilege, its up to them how they use it and id say dedicating a 1/3 of your twenties to something like rural women's health its pretty cool and good in the grand scheme of things. And again, a Mercedes 200 D doing 100kph smacking into you on a motorcycle doesn't care how much your parents earned. 500excf type r posted:momma makes sure the state department doesn't allow her babies any opportunity for trouble yeah super weird

Health care personel don't call them donorcycles for nothing. Motorcycles are ten times more dangerous than cars, even in developed countries.  That's even with decent roads, roadworthiness inspections and traffic law enforcement.

One of the things here too is that while cars have gotten significantly safer since the mid 80s when the ban was put in place, motorycles really havent because intrinsically "exposed human traveling at 20+ kilometers an hour" is gonna have a bad time in an accident and theres little you can do to assuage that.

The Peace Corps program is in part to try and 'enrich' the lives of the privileged giving them a view of what it's like to be not privileged. Yes it's good work but it's impossible to get away from the fact that we send privileged people to do it mostly to develop THEM, not the people they're helping.

I think all new drivers should start on motorbikes. Let's just weed them out, survival of the fittest I say. Also I wouldn't work in the Peace Corps, but is there a Grumpy but Not Violent or Aggressive Corps? I think that'd work.

That, but on a motorbike.
