Motorcycling is all about risk avoidance. Best way to avoid risk is to not ride. Riding with no protective gear? Dumb. Riding too fast for conditions? Also dumb. Exposing a passenger to those same risks? Inexcusable. You see it a lot, and it's fairly common for women to get killed riding on the backs of motorcycles.

But it happens with old cruiser riders as well; riding slow lowers risk but it doesn't eliminate it.

One of ten will be wearing a helmet, typically the half-helmets favored by motorcycle cops (I guess they work if you hit something head-first.).
