The death of anyone, particularly a child, is a tragedy. Mountainbiking has a
death rate estimated at 0.00123 per million miles travelled; which makes it very safe. It is safer than driving and safer than sitting on your couch getting heart disease.

You know that is pure BS. The lack of citing any scientific evidence is a
good indication that you are just bluffing. If you actually CARED, which you
DON'T, you would do enough research to get an accurate assessment, instead of
calculating using unreliable figures on the back of an envelope.

Ah Mike Mike Mike ... you have no idea how funny this is because you obviously spout so much drivel that you forget what you've previously said.

The figures to calculate this death rate came from .... YOUR WEBSITE :-). It's all here in this thread https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt....g/0KXsYu_iyJ8J

Given that you're not interested in the truth and have a clear observation bias, I would expect the real figure to be significantly lower.
