Risk is chiefly a matter of perception; most extreme sports are less dangerous than an afternoon drive. I don't have a link to a source but I've read that your chances of dying in a typical car trip are one in several million. I would imagine most extreme sports are not as dangerous as they appear but it would seem to me that they have a greater chance of causing death then that. I also think the number of minor or not so minor injuries would be greater per person/minute engaged in such activity. A lot more people die in cars but a lot more people drive or are passengers in cars, then participate in extreme sports. Tim
