The crash Mark experienced can hardly be said to have been the result of "risk compensation."  It fits better into the /bad shit happens unexpectedly and without warning/ category.  As for statistics, I am wholeheartedly with Christopher: /I've hit my head on the ground with and without a helmet. I know which I prefer./
