FW: [RC] research - Mike Sherrell50-50 chance of 1 hospitalization/2,000 hrs. If I ride 8 hrs/week, 50-50 chance of 1 hospitalization in a little under 5 years. I'm at about 15th year now. Either I'm good, I'm lucky, or Peruvians are better-behaved than others. Actually I got kicked by someone else's horse while riding, got my ankle put into a cast at an Alberta outpatient clinic. I guess that doesn't count, though. I wonder about the methodology of that study. For example, I think motorcycle wrecks would be more likely to kill you than horse wrecks, i.e., for every 10 horse wrecks sending someone to hospital, 1 would kill, but for every 10 bike wrecks, 3 would die -- ? Actually I can see more wrecks/hour on a horse, quite a few more -- they are far less controllable than a machine like a motorcycle. On the other hand they're far slower and usually on much softer ground, so one would think the injuries would be milder.
