Have You Ever Wondered About The Risk?

Well, I was busy reading a discussion about parent’s right to know about their children treatment regarding pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease when I came across this statistics:

HSBguzzler, From the leading medical textbook on the subject, Williams Obstetrics (1997 ed), page 1340: Risks for Men and Women of All Ages - Chance of Death in a Year Motorcycling: 1 in 1,000 Automobile driving: 1 in 6,000 Rock climbing: 1 in 7,500 Canoeing: 1 in 100,000

So, Rock Climbing is much safer than motorcycling, thats a comfort. I know there is risk in many of the things I do, I don’t do them because they are dangerous but because I love them and I do try to be careful and take all the necessary precautions. Still there is a significant number of accidents so sometimes careful is not enough.
