It just makes sense to me. How often do you think people get rearended by inattentive traffic, or involved in a multiple vehicle pile up when someone gets rearended behind them versus how many times clutches fail and bikes shoot out in to insersections? I'm fairly certain one happens more often than the other.

To be honest, I do not feel leaving my bike in gear is a very effective way of avoiding being rearended. I think wedging myself between two cars takes care of that quite sufficiently.
How you can watch behind you well enough to be able to determine the car is not going to stop and that you should chance it with cross traffic is beyond me.
