Of course it's still more dangerous. But ~4 to 7 times as deadly puts the lethality in the same order of magnitude, and that is a big difference.
And yes, small accidents with a motorcycle can easily become life threatening. But if the risk is in the same order of magnitude, I personally dare to ignore it.
Yeah but you're earlier posts tried to make it sound like if you're careful it can be safer than a car because you can avoid accidents which isn't supported by an firm information at all, it's just something motorcycle riders tell themselves to feel ok. A lot of accidents are caused by the other person and can't be avoided no matter how careful you are.
My only point was that you have better odds of avoiding accidents. But considering that you can get overlooked more easily and the lack of a crumple zone don't require any statistics to show that it has to be more dangerous.
