Safety.

There is safety in biscuits, unlike extreme sports such as super g ski and class one sailing events.
Young Yannik Sinner was a wise child when he swapped skiing for tennis on account of the danger.
Rules and safety measures are regularly updated but it seems that professional athletes push themselves and their gear even harder, so that the danger levels remain and injury and death still happen regularly.

I had these thoughts during a chat with my son, L at lunch on monday.

In the afternoon S told me that one of the guys who had done offshore survival training on Saturday was killed by an avalanche on Sunday morning.

Matteo Auguadro 48 years old.
There were five of them. 
Only two survived.
On Saturday he was a top class sailor, a super athlete at the top of his career with a wife and kids and on Sunday, suddenly.....
Very sad.
