Danger is inherent in every sport/activity/hobby. In my opinion, considering the equipment we use and the speed that we travel, we are pretty safe. Comparably.
Odds increase dramaticly when you do something stupid like come in on Port to a crowded top mark.
If you are going to do it, you better know what you are doing and leave a bit of a safety margin in the bank. However if you know what you are doing...... You would not put yourself in that possition.
I am sure the guys in question on Port, regret their move and will unlikely do it again. Just a shame that they had to learn from such a nasty accident.
