This is A&S, a forum overrun by posters devoid of any knowledge of competent risk evaluation/risk management and are not shy about demonstrating it.
Just look at all the posts and threads where clueless posters draw conclusions based on a count of so-called "crashes" with no consideration of the crash results, i.e. relative severity of injuries.
