So Which Is The Greater Safety Risk?

So Which Is The Greater Safety Risk?

When people see photos of the walking trail to the tea house 2,160 m (7,087 ft) up on the southern peak of Mt. Huashan in China, they react with OMG!, No way!, That would never happen here!. But, on any morning on any weekday in any modern western city, how many pedestrians ignore designated crossings and wander aimlessly down the median strip waiting for a gap on traffic to run to the other side? Anyone ever seen the damage caused to a human body hit by a car travelling at legal speed? Allegedly there are around 100 deaths per year on the trail – how many pedestrians are killed each year? I know where I would rather take my chances!!

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? APPLYING TRADITIONAL RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESSES, WHICH WOULD EMERGE AS THE GREATER RISK? JUST PROVES THAT RISK ASSESSMENT IS DEFINITELY NOT OBJECTIVE!
