the denominator is clearly the big question. Is it "miles traveled" or "time spent doing it"?
or in practical terms: "what's the likelihood you'll be injured if you do it every day"?
- lazide 3y agoMuch, much higher for the horse. Horses are far less predictable, temperamental, harder to manage and keep healthy, etc. And more than powerful enough to kick someone in the head and end them in an instant if they really wanted to.
- AlbertCory 3y agoalthough they will avoid colliding with other horses, AFAIK
- lazide 3y agoCars will also avoid eating random things and pooping in public, thankfully!
- AlbertCory 3y agoI see a YouTube video here! $$$$$$
- thmsths 3y agoWe can also look at which is the most dangerous to pedestrians (probably the car by a wide margin), or even which is the most dangerous when not ridden/in use. For that last point I would expect the horse to be the most dangerous, while you have the occasional death due to being crushed by a car I bet stable accidents are more frequent.
- AlbertCory 3y agoGood point on pedestrians. Cars can roll down hills, although that's probably infrequent. They can also catch fire. I'm not even horse-experienced, so my knowledge is mainly from TV.
