Re: [RC] completely healthy, stop kiddin' yourself - Dolores Arste

When I took my daughter to the hospital when she fell off her horse they told me that "per capita" That's a ratio
based on who does what horses were second only to chainsaws on the number of emergency visits.
 
There are a lot more people riding motorcycles. And, yes I agree that many motorcycle injuries are serious.
But, having fallen off both I can say that my injuries were far more serious when I fell off my horse.
 
No helmet, head injury with the horse. I won't make that mistake again.

OK, I can not stop myself and appoligise in advance...
Jerry died on his motorcycle; I'm still here and riding.  As a retired ICU/ER nurse I can tell you whoever came up with that stat was smoking something with Dr Q and inhaling it.  Go vist any ER or ICU and check the patient census.  Now back to your regularly scheduled ride camp moment...sorry, I just could not help it....It must be a bad case of winter ride campitis,

Just thought I'd throw in my two cents. Riding horses vs motorcycles? You 
have a 30% higher chance of getting hurt on a horse..
