No, they're not because media reports come from all over.
You need data for the same place and over the same period to be in any way
comparable.

A random sampling of a universe of phenomena is even better
than a sampling from a specific time and place. All I am doing is comparing
different universes.

And thereby rendering the data totally meaningless. You can't compare a cross country trail with a downhill bike park.

You can't compare a city street with a trail.

And, you're not sampling either ... you're collecting every instance you can of one outcome (death or injury) without collecting the rest of the dataset. So, you are committing so many statistical errors that you wouldn't even pass a school-level stats course .. let alone anything more advanced.

Nobody knows what is meant by "exposures" Your reliance on

this kind of "data" is hilarious.

Yes, Ed, people know exactly what is meant by exposures. If
you could care to do some study instead of simply spouting you can read about it
here ... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1472638/

However, I fully expect that you won't bother and will remain
secure in your ignorance.

All "exposures" are never the same. Too generalized to be of
any use.

So, thank you, you confirmed my expectations ...

Oh dear Ed. So, the fact that the number one category
requiring Mountain Rescue was "Slip, Trip or Stumble" with 111 of the 433
injuries in the Lake District in 2013 is indicative of a wonderful range of
innovative and 'interesting' new injuries suffered by hikers ?

That number one category is trivial and not worth mentioning,

Why Ed ? It's the most common category of injuries and therefore hardly 'trivial'. Particularly when you remember that these were incidents that were sufficient serious that they required people to call our Mountain Rescue.

certainly not to be compared with the kind of common accidents that mountain
bikers suffer. Hiker accidents that result in serious injury or death are
interesting. Similar degree mountain biker accidents are never interesting
because they are all the same.

Well then Ed, from the report that I provided, show me the 'interesting' hiker deaths or injuries. The vast majority are from the same causes, every year .. a fact decried by the chairman in his opening remarks.
