    Default A hobby more dangerous than cavediving?

    At work Ive had the same discussion as most of you about how dangerous they think cave diving is. Found out the one guys hobby is biking. He rides on the shoulder of the road with hundreds of strangers, texting, reading, putting on makeup, eating, fumbling for items in the car and crossing into the median occationally. Man thats just crazy.

    These things come to mind:
    Riding horses, motorcycles, and road bikes.
    Driving to work.
    Working on a crab boat in the Bearing Sea 123.4 in 100K.
    Lawenforcment officers 14 in 100K.
    Fire fighters 18.3 in 100K.
    Military.
    More I'm sure if I thought about it.

    Extra marital affairs. More dangerous and expensive.

    I am a runner and I have been almost hit about a dozen times on my morning run. I am an early runner so I am on the road about 4:00 a.m. So there is a good mix of sleepy drivers headed to work and and drunks headed home. I would have to say that is much more dangerous.

    Probably dating. You discover new people, go in interesting and sometimes new places and always there is the fear of the unknown....
