But a far more important question is, "To be safe is one required to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle underwater?" -- cheers, John B. |

It is interesting that living causes a death and a half per million hours. So if I spend every hour of my entire life cycling, I'm still six times more likely to die of something else?

It sounds weird when you state it that way, but turn the ratio around and it says that the average person lives 76 years before dying of something. Or that on average 0.9 years of continuous skydiving will kill you. |
