don't have time for this anyway!

And it was still too much info for me, I don't care. The point is why
do you think it's important to use your full name rather than a
nickname. It doesn't invoke any more trust in comments you may post.

LOL!

Tourist Bus using designated paved roadway tumbles 75 feet

down bluff.

Anyone can do it, Mike.
Plus, of course, the "source material" for hiker and motorist

deaths is
about a thousand times bigger than for mountain biker deaths.

Not per person or per outing. Mountain biking is MUCH more dangerous
than either of those.


I'm inclined to think that those forty tourists in that single bus

would
say that this outing was more dangerous than mountain biking.


They weren't hiking. They were riding in a bus. Mountain biking is FAR
more dangerous than hiking.

I imagine that hiking in mountainous countryside containing vicious wild
animals is much more dangerous than walking in a suburban park.
Likewise, walking in a suburban park is probably more dangerous than
sitting on a sofa in your living room all day.
By your logic one should wrap oneself in cotton wool and not ever leave
the house.
What, exactly, was your point anyway?
