That surprises me. I saw two people go down in mine. One girl went down multiple times and failed. From talking to the instructors, they usually average one drop per weekend. These are mostly just drops from doing something stupid like not putting down your feet when you come to a stop. Not crashing in motion.

Yeah only one girl dropped in my class and I still blame the instructor for that. He was doing the I'll tell you at this time to either swerve left, swreve right or stop....well he waiting too long and she committed to swerving left when he stuck out his arms for her to stop. High side FTL.

It stopped class for a while, but she was allowed to stay.

My co-worker recently took MSF, he said THREE people dropped their bikes. I think a full class is 12.

For the record, no one in my class dropped their bikes.
