Agree with this, but parents may not know that horseback riding is actually riskier: "In a press release, the researchers say that “when controlled for hours of activity, horseback riding resulted in a higher proportion of hospital admission than other higher risk activities...The risk of hospitalization for injuries related to horseback riding surpasses that for football, skiing, and auto and motorcycle racing, according to researchers at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley." Horseback-riding injuries are a ‘frequently ignored public health issue,’ say researchersFootball is a dying game for kids. Many parents don't want their sons to play.
This qualifies as the most bizarre factoid I've come across in a while.
