Boat Safety - and thread arguments

Doesn't that make gliding 30 times as dangerous as being on the road?
On an hourly participation basis, that is probably reasonable.
When I used to glide, I once worked out that for an under-40 male, being
a driver roughly doubled your annual mortality risk, and gliding roughly
doubled it again. But on a hourly basis, gliding is certainly more risky
than driving.
