[QUOTE="Sun, post: 138197, member: 143"] I think we tend to block out the danger. Our passion and excitement overrides those thoughts. But the reality IS, it is a very dangerous sport. I believe the more aggressive you ride, the more likely your going to crash harder but perhaps crash less? I wonder how much being a better rider/agressive rider vs. beginner/slower rider compares in deaths. Probably more deaths in aggressive riding but more casual injuries in the beginner/slower riders? Hmmm... who knows? And how many were racing vs. recreational riding? And track vs. trail? I bet more track deaths. When I ride in the LPNF I feel safer then I do in the OHV park at Gorman. Less people riding up there and most the riders typically have better skills however, the riders are typically riding more aggressive too. It can make for some nasty head on's when two aggressive riders collide but also, better skills to stop or pass one another too. Hmmm...this is all so interesting:coffee: I think someone needs to fund a study on it. Im sure there are many more fallen then mentioned here. Godspeed to all of the fallen riders:salute: [/QUOTE]
