Notice that I am not saying for or against here, just that we need to compare apples to apples.


my point was that both events (bear attack, car wreck) are catastrophic, and taking steps to mitigate the damage is important.

perhaps a better analogy would be bear attack and carry bear spray vs car wreck, and buckling your seat belt?
