There’s a large spectrum between skiing on an uncrowded slope alone, a crowded beginner trail, hucking cliffs and backcountry in avy prone terrain.

I don’t think the risk profile can be all lumped together.

Much in the same way that cycling on the road has a different risk profile to on a bike path vs downhill or freeride mountain biking.

Most people get hurt because they try to learn in an uncontrolled fashion and overestimate their skill.

Cycling on roads could be safer, but in the US at least, we're numb to car-caused deaths.

It seems many fun things are dangerous :)
