Answer

Why are so many motorcyclists involved in serious accidents in Mallorca?

Motorcyclists are more exposed than car drivers, so injuries tend to be more severe when a crash happens. In Mallorca, risk is increased by common factors such as speed, alcohol, distraction, poor visibility at dusk, and uneven road conditions in some areas.
