Maybe true but judging by news reports the accidents usualy involve military vehicles or accidentaly firing on your allies or own side!
Whatever its a good advert for not riding like a complete twat.

| The message in the video is clear, but I was not previously aware of the statistic. It would be interesting to know if this also applies to the regular soldiers of other nations. Few become soldiers through seeking a quiet life, and the statistic is likely to have links with the sheer spirit of the warrior, as in the case of Lawrence.

| Its a good advert, certainly has that shock factor in it even if you do know whats coming. In a way that statistic doesnt suprise me though.... I know a few guys in the army and they do tend to enjoy life on the edge, so would go thrill seeking that bit more then the rest of us...

I do notice a different sort of madmness then the one I'm used to in London when I'm traversing the Salisbury plains.
Plenty of nutters there.
