That really depends on the situation. In a mixed crash (bicycle vs car) the car will just about always be safer.

OTOH bicycles travel slower, can't catch fire, can't trap you inside them etc, etc. This means that for some types of accidents, a bicycle will be safer.

But then there's the question of what you're comparing with. Bikes are slower, so if you look at risk vs covered distance, you'll get one answer. Look at risk vs travel time you get another ASO.

For bikes to be "safer", they need to be compared to something. Skateboards, inlines, scooters etc

Since you're not providing anything to compare them to, the question can't be answered.

What is safer a ATV or a dirt bike?

ATV and dirt bike both have a different set of functions but still if we need to do comparison between them I will say that ATV is much safer vehicle than Dirt Bike. Reason is 3 fold. 1: ATVs have 4 tires and Dirt Bikes have only 2, which gives ATVs a higher benefit in terms of balancing. 2: ATVs as being a 4 wheeler vehicle have more power in comparison to Dirt Bikes and as ATVs are heavy they are less likely to injure people during an accident rather than Dirt bike which are already having a very low power. 3: Dirt Bike is not suitable for all terrains but ATVs full form is All Terrain Vehicle which explains all about it’s use in all terrains. Which makes it safer not only on dirt but on road and other terrains too but if you take dirt bike on other terrains it might not be recommended and also not safer too.
