Very interesting graphic (that's way too big to shrink down sufficiently to post here). What are your chances of dying if you're running, for example? 1 in 1 million, apparently, though hang gliding presents you with a 1 in 560 chance of getting killed.
Bicycling comes with a 1 in 140,845 chance of getting you wiped slick. Swimming's another of those 1 in 1 million sports. Which I guess makes triathlon a pretty ho-hum affair when you compare it with hang gliding, boxing (1 in 2,200) or... base jumping. That one's scary dangerous at 1 in 60.
Know what's sad? You have a better chance of getting killed at dance parties (1 in 100,000) than running, biking or swimming. Jeezus... is triathlon the sport of soy boys and soy girls, or what? ;-)
