"If you know anything about large-scale motorcycle rallies like Sturgis, Laconia or Daytona, you know these events have a reputation for careless riding and crashing. And now, a study by the Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital (published on November 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine) says that actually results in a noticeable uptick in organ donations.
You can see the study’s abstract here, but to read the full thing, you’ll need some sort of membership. No worries, the general idea is what you’d expect. As the abstract tells us:
What should hospitals do with this information? The authors out that obviously, the first objective should be reduction of motorcycle collision fatalities. But after that? With more than 100,000 Americans waiting for organ transplants, the authors of the study suggest that hospitals situated close to these rallies prepare themselves for unexpected organ donations as the events near, in case they’re able to help more people on those waiting lists."

Well, that’s certainly a noticeable uptick. And it’s probably no surprise to most readers, as we’ve all seen the photos of horizon-to-horizon bikes, many with riders who are under the influence of drugs and alcohol and wearing no helmet (depending on local laws).
