Nepenthes posted an interesting little picture graph there.

ive been involved in a few accidents that a non motorbike related that were serious enough to kill me and got through ok.

motor vehicle 1:84
falling 1:218
drowning 1:1008
accidental electrocution 1:9968

my point being, you can pretty much do anything and almost be killed. as long as you identify and mitigate the risks involved, and you're smart about it, then there's not much else you can do.

some of my best friends ride offroad. some have been involved in serious accidents and keep going, others have hung up the helmet because they decided that the rewards were not worth it.

weigh up your own situation and decide on what its worth to you. good luck!
