I don't know why, but forces bods do seem to chuck their bikes down the road a fair bit now that it mentions it. Possibly a combination of things: rushing home for leave (or rushing back after leave); they tend to be a bit more fearless than your average person and bit of fear on a bike keeps you alive; a bit more confident in general, a plus up to a point, but perhaps leads to overconfidence in their riding abilities?
That said, my brother is ex forces and I'd say he's less likely than average to crash than your average joe, but that's probably down to his restraint/personality rather than his job.
