Yes, motorcycling is more dangerous than driving a car and yes, motorcyclists also build more accidents than car drivers. Most of them, however, are self-inflicted out of overconfidence.
You can still control a motorcycle and drive it safely if you want. At least in such a way that you can't have an accident without the influence of a third party. Even in the rain you can drive with the current tyres on the market like on rails. Personally, I wouldn't drive my kid around in the rain, but that's another subject.
I suppose you haven't ridden a motorcycle yet, because that's one of the most beautiful feelings you can have.
I actually did. My friend drove and I held him. I prefer feeling safer in a car than feeling that feeling again and having more risk. ( Yes, I know that cars are dangerous as well, but not as motorcycles. )
