So, help me (my mum) out, what are the top 10 horror stories of touring?
Which means we need at least 10 stories, and pictures... (maybe not)
I don't see what good it does to compile a list of the worst things that can happen. Unless you plan of going to some unusually dangerous places, riding your bike "there" is likely no more dangerous than riding your bike "here". In fact, much of bike touring is in Rural America where things are really pretty safe.
Giving your mother a list of worst case scenarios isn't going to go far to ease her mind.
