The average mountain biking is not as risky as stupid things like bungee and sky dives and rock climbs. Sorry, the risk level and/or the costs are too great for something of no real worth.. How would you like to be the person who goes through life explaining his dad died when he smacked into the ground from a short cord and grew up without him? I’d feel just about resentful.

Anecdotal. There are two motivators of human activity: Fear of a bad experience and desire for a good experience.

I do not live my life in fear. I DO consider the risk/reward formula (it’s actually part of my job) and proceed accordingly.

So far, so good.
