A lot of old people die in bed. Is sleeping risky?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Not as risky as getting out of bed, but yes it's dangerous.

Skiing accidents can be plotted on a bathtub chart.
A lot for beginners (lack of skill), fewer for middlers (more experience), a lot for extremists (riskier riding).

You need to factor in the invincibility quotient that many young people have. Hence the young male boarder stat at the top. And, that there is only one cure for stoopid...

Not as risky as people who don't think believe
Personally I think it's absurd to think of skiing as a "dangerous sport". It's hardly horse riding"!
It all depends what you consider a sport of course, but if you can't think of 10 things to do which are more dangerous than a day pottering about at Milton Keynes then you're probably not trying very hard.

There's some other good stuff on that site too though - thanks.

I'm getting worried about riding my bike....
Well actually falling off it is the worst bit.
I haven't got a bike helmet so I did wear my ski helmet on it one day.
I felt I was taking it to a new level when I pulled the goggles down.
