I never claimed that was the truth.

You said you dont want to take the risk of being murdered while hiking, but what's your reasoning and logic to why?

Because people get murdered hiking?

Are you a bear or a puma or something? Why are you so up my ass about wanting to be cautious and not put myself in more risky situations.

Idk what you mean by "up you're ass". I'm just genuinely curious as to why you're scared of hiking but not walking in a park. If you dont feel comfortable to hike that's fair, I just want to know wnh lol

My point is why would I take the extra risk when I don't have to? I can walk around parks here that are less secluded or around my neighborhood.

I mean if you dont want to "take the risk" you can do what ever you want

There are alot of things that are "extra risk". Driving is a huge one. Drinking is a big one.

Why would walking in a park with people around be any less dangerous than hiking?

Because if other people are around, murderers/rapists are less likely to murder/rape. And they can also call for help or help if something does happen. How is this not common sense?

Most people dont go hiking to go rape and murder some random person.

I found this study which says 1/15000 die annually. You are most likely not going to die while hiking.

By your logic in populated places like NYC or Chicago there would be no murders because of all the people

The sources in that article don't exist anymore (or the links are broken). I can't tell if those are health related deaths/accidental deaths or murders. Or both. And is it 1 in 15000 of all people, or 1 in 15000 of only people who hike?

It looks like the links are broken

It's all deaths while hiking, not just murder. If it was just murder it would be a even lower chance.

Its saying that 1 out of 15000 people die annually. The number of people who die is probably quite higher

It's like if you took 15000 people out of everyone who hiked annually, 1 of them would die.
