The lack of standard scaling of amount of activity breaks this chart. Rock climbing is given as roughly the same death rate as heroin addiction: 0.0145% vs 0.016% per year. But the chart counts 100 years of heroin addiction versus only one year of rock climbing and so misrepresents the risk by a factor of 100.

Also otherwise missing units of time for many of the activities.

This is quite a hard infographic to parse as I have no intuition as to relatively how dangerous the extreme sports are and it looks like there are extra things to know like the plane is not one trip but 100000 hours.

It’s a cool idea but I think an improvement would be to use say fewer activities (maybe 4) and then use one plus a multiplier for each case.

E.g. chance of dying in a year is the same as 6 skydives.

I think it’s an important topic to communicate so people can see the risk they take should they choose no vaccination. If the graphic takes into account vaccination side effect deaths that would make it a great argument maker for vaccination.

Interesting idea!

The colors need more grading, though. Grand prix is the same color as climbing 6km, but an order of magnitude less risky.

Huh, the blurry lowres pic hides the mathematical symbols...

Are death percentage risks additive when we combine activities?

Cool. Now I can say that not getting vaccinated is my extreme sport.

The random inclusion of heroin addiction, while interesting, seems out of place. Aside from it not being a sport, how do you compare it to, say, Grand Prix? One injection = one race?
