A good way of putting it for ATGATT. For the crash stats, it extends to how we ride too.

It depends a lot on circumstance ... as there are times when insurance and ATGATT aren't worth a pinch of shit.

In most cases ... you should be better off with both .... But that is not always the case.

The last time I looked, having insurance doesn't prevent earthquakes.

Entirely correct. Equally, wearing ATGATT won't prevent crashes.

However, having insurance when an earthquake rogers your house prevents financial ruin (found THAT out), and wearing ATGATT when a crash happens prevents as many injuries as it can.

Better insurance policies give better protection. Better gear does too.

Nothing can totally prevent injury in the event of a nasty bin, but it's good idea to wear good gear, all the time when riding.

Dismounting soapbox.
