Is hiking in the USA safe?

No.2384314 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I'm from Denmark and really want to go to the USA this summer I have like 1.5 free months. I want to do a huge outdoorsman trip. The problem is I've really only hiked in the Netherlands and Denmark and my mom says it's too dangerous a jump to try and go hike in Wyoming or Michigan or Arizona etc. Anybody in the USA know if this is true or BS? Not only am I afraid of dangerous animals like bears and cougars but I'm wondering about the hike difficulty I'm used to pretty flat hikes not super intense ones. I'm not afraid of camping besides getting eaten but I see there are precautions you can take like smell-proof coolers. My mom has me worried I am just wondering is it actually that dangerous or should it be doable for somebody who has only some experience doing outdoorsy stuff.
