chugg08 – That list doesn’t look like it is comparing eggs with eggs.
It seems to say that only there were only…
1.7 million instances of recreational cycling between 1997 and 2006 in Germany, causing 19 deaths. But there were…
2 million instances of sky diving in the USA in 2006 alone
57 million instances of skiing in the USA in 2002/3 (one winter)
Seems unlikely!
Looks like they are comparing instances for some of the data with total population who participate for other data. So a cyclist in Germany has a 1 in 92,000 chance of dying due to cycling over a 10 year period but a skier in the USA has a 1 in 1.5m chance of dying each time they go skiing.
These are not the same thing.
(also the raw data looks dodgy, e.g. the population number for swimming, cycling and running in Germany are identical!)
I’d doubt that is is possible to actually find the data needed to definitively say what is the most dangerous sport. So yeah we can speculate away.
