The reporting of a handful of near-miss events gives absolutely no indication of the relative safety of whitewater as compared to sea kayaking. If you want to try to compare them, you'll need to look at accident rates in terms of (say) injuries/paddler-hour or some other statistical measure that lends itself to comparisons. But please don't leap to unfounded conclusions based on anecdotal evidence, which is all that Charlie was reporting. ---Rsk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Feb 17 1998 - 19:32:54 PST
