    Seeing that professor smoking and cycling to work without holding the handle bars made my day!

    "One of the biggest risks is being to cautions" Brilliant.

    "One of the biggest risks is being too cautious." Well put!

    I'm happy I subscribed to this channel. These are things you don't learn over at my school.

    Re micromorts cycling versus driving:
    1. Does it not depend whether you measure risk per hour or per mile or per commute? This becomes interesting when you consider that car drivers tend to live further from their place of work and thus end up with the same risk exposure as cyclists (within ballpark anyway)
    2. You might want to examine Dorothy L. Robinson's work on determining the (in)effectiveness of bicycle helmets in reducing life and cognition threatening brain injuries.

    A high proportion (all?) of accidents are not some random thing that happens but rather are caused by people deliberately driving carelessly. Choose to drive carefully with concentration and the published average statistics will not apply to you. The same considerations undoubtedly apply to cyclists; choose to cycle at a moderate pace on a path in a park and you're probably pretty safe!

    it was really bizarre and perturbing when he uttered that he 'daydreams about doing dangerous things' while staring staunchly at the fork in his palm...

    But I *am* wearing ear-plugs. I always do when playing sambe indoors - I would not take that risk! David S

    @hbp2m ah but they are not all car related. According to the DoT in 2008, 52 of 115 cycling fatalities were due to collisions with a single car (45%). Of the rest, there were 8 sole riders, 8 colliding with pedestrians, 24 with HGVs (in London it's a third), 6 with buses plus some others. In fact per mile driven HGVs and buses kill far more than cars.
    Also, in 2008 you could cycle 25 miles for a 1-in-a-million chance of dying in an accident and drive about 208 miles in a car.

    I didn't know that they were professors like this. Plus I don't know if I could handle job like that. Thinking like day in and day out would drive me nuts.

    Did the risky side of him just run over the cautious size?

  • @stewspin
    @stewspin 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Risk encouragement? lol not sure . . .but I do get the point we should do things we like or make us feel good without being overly timid about what might happen. Can't see the bacon sandwich every morning, but heck, each to his own.

    Don't worry about being embarrassed Prof.........you look great in a samba band. Plus I agree with you, on a nice day you can't beat pedal power.Oh and finally grow old disgracefully. :-)

    surely he's taking a huge risk in playing in the samba band with no earplugs, I'm 17 and have been playing for around a year and a half and i've had several 'have i got tinnitus panics'

    He is wasting his talent on so called risk ,part of statsitics which teaches you how to lie with statistics.He is in my view a great actor.Eversince statistics and probability introduced into save british way of concrete design of structures i always thought the statisticians have not left any profession unadulterated.
    Imagine you always think if that or this route better or worse from risk point of view,you dont make decision at all.
