RE: [RC] LD rides and fatalities - Bob MorrisSo you could say that 100 milers are fatalities in the wings? Bob -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Maul Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 7:43 PM To: ridecamp Subject: [RC] LD rides and fatalities In response to:"One thing that struck me, right off the bat, from the table was the large number of 25 milers, in the equine fatality stats. I did think their number would be much lower. LD riders are about 36% of the total rider/horse entries today. Their completion rates are about 1% higher than the completion rates for 50 mile rides. 4 of 11 fatalities are LD events which is 36%. If you assume that they may be more inexperienced and perhaps less fit than the 50 milers - this isn't unreasonable. The 100 mile fatalities are the most out of line with about 19% of the total but only about 5% of the entries. Completion rates about 60% compared to 86% for LD/50 mile rides.
