So not the same?

Quite an extreme and useless comparison. There's a large spectrum of transportation and entertainment options between motorcycle riding and home bound bumper suit at all times.

If someone uses the word 'same' followed by a 'but' for a significantly different case then the word 'same' is losing its meaning. > Do you discourage people from riding bicycles too, lest they be hit? I don't, and my point is these things all have wildly different cost-benefit tradeoffs. So it's unproductive to jump to some extreme risk averse example that no one was suggesting or implying.
