Alternate interpretation: One generation takes too many risks, The next

What disasters?

You mean the 700-something people that died riding a bicycle? Compared
with the numbers that died while walking? Or died due to falls?

The NHTSA has it that there were 4,735 pedestrian fatalities, some six
and a half times the number of bicycle fatalities. Are people afraid
of walking? Should one wear a helmet while walking?

Enlighten me. You mention a study saying one generation takes more
risks, I propose a hypothetical causality, and you assume I'm trying to
start a fight about whether bicycling is safe?
