Riding bike is like flying fighter jets in combat. Experience and training is the key to raising your odds of survival. Second do not do stupid things, drinking, drugs, driving tired, not sure about the cell phone in helmet comm systems.
Drive like they are all out to kill you, and drive in 3 second increments for survival.
It is more dangerous now than 40 years ago when I started, no cell phones then, huge SUVs, and a lot less traffic. Also don't buy a biker bigger and more powerful than you can handle. A 750 was big then, now hard to find a bike that small and that good.
That video is full of people doing mostly stupid things, or very inexperienced. In many countries I visit there is no training for car lisences let alone motorcycles. Other countries licenses for cars and motorcycles are tough to get (Germany and Japan).
I'm not going to stop riding, if combat did not kill me, and if I fear to ride, life just is not worth living. As there are few things that give me greater joy.
Heads up, use mirrors, keep bike maintained, wits always keen. ENJOY!
