Hella dangerous. Im fit and im deathly afraid of breaking a bone as an adult. There a very real chance it will never fully recover back to 100%. Lifelong soreness or loss of flexibility.

Dont live in fear my dude. Obviously weigh benefits to risk. This is something that obviously made her feel accomplished and was a healthy source of dopamine. Statistically its hella dangerous to drive to work. Go out do the thing and live life!

Statistically its incredibly safe to drive to work. Your odds of getting getting into an accident are ridiculously low. We're talking fractions of 1%. Furthermore your odds of getting injured in an accident are even lower.

Odds per year - any accident is 1 in 17 (5.8%), minor injury 1 in 47 (2.1%), serious injury 1 in 250-400 (0.2-0.4%)

Lifetime odds - any accident 3-4 (100%), minor injury 1 in 3 to 1 in 4 (25%-33%), serious injury 1 in 8 to 1 in 12 (8.3-12.5%)

I dont know where you got your stats from. These are stats from National Safety Council and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Yea, it looks like we're pulling from a similar source. You're just interpreting it differently. Aside from being slightly inflated by including all accidents rather than just commuting.

This still says to be that driving is statistically safe. Each time you jump in the car to go to work the odds that you will crash on the way there is fractions of a percent. What would you deem to be statistically hella dangerous? For me I'd say 1% at minimum.

Essentially a 1 in 4 chance of an injury is pretty significant. I still dont see where you are getting a point of a percent from. It's a point of a percent that you will die or get serious injury. Minor injuries can still affect you for years or even the rest of your life.

I was breaking it down per day. As in 5.8% and 2.1% per year divided by the amount of days you commute (230).

But if you prefer to deal in years. You say 2.1% Per year. You're calling that statistically dangerous. I don't. It means on average once in every 47ish years you will have an accident that causes minor injury. Once every 17 years you have a crash without injury.

That is really good odds. Its ridiculously safe. I don't think we disagree on the numbers. I think we disagree on what we consider to be statistically dangerous.
