>>1061243>mountaineering deaths are skewed by people who climb actual mountains Interesting assertion, anon.
>traffic fatalities are skewed by those who drive on highways with no center divider!See how stupid that sounds?
The point of the matter is that both activates are quite dangerous, comparing mountaineering or caving to driving is quite retarded however.
I am not really sure why everyone makes that argument as it is quite dumb, do people think that driving is not dangerous? Why make the comparison?
If people needed to climb a mountain or go through a cave to get to the 7-11 there would be quite a lot more deaths in the mountains and caves, quite a lot more than driving.
The high number of traffic fatalities comes from the fact that it is something people do multiple times a day for a long duration.
Go climb Hood or Rainier for three hours everyday and see how many days you can get by before you have an accident.
