hilarious! You could get quite obsessional. I wonder how Risk Assessors ever manage to get through a day!

You have to remember that the chances of you being injured in an accident at home or work are a bit smaller than the statistics suggest.
Why?
Because the statistics include this guy:

It's the forced smiling of the charity representative I'd be worried about - very scary and quite dangerous I imagine.
(Great post dg, very funny)

That crossing outside Holborn Tube station is ridiculously dangerous.

There are of course also the numerous diseases carried by town pigeons which could be passed on to the unsuspecting commuter. Blisters caused by the long walk home when tube services are down and the initial choice of footwear in the morning did not take this risk into account. Canteen food induced cardiovascular diseases.
Working is a very dangerous business - vastly overrated.

Another serious risk is new age kiddy buggys and Invalid scooters.
Drivers of both seem to think they rights of way on pavements.

There's nothing quite like negotiating the various crossings at Holborn to get the adrenaline flowing.
I saw a pedestrian get knocked into by a cyclist yesterday. There was the usual exchange of abuse, but then afterwards the pedestrian actually shook his fist at the departing cyclist. Shook his fist! I wasn't close enough to hear if he went "grrrrr!", but nonetheless it was brilliant.

Statistically isn't the home still the most dangerous place to be?
The trouser related accidents probably all occur there for a start!

There's obviously not enough legislation.

Don't get me started on cyclists and pedestrian crossings...

Take the Central Line. They haven't targeted that one. Yet.
It's about this time that I wonder why I ever decided it would be a good idea to move my nice, simple and relatively safe ten-minute overground commute from Ealing Broadway, to a 45-minute all-underground commute from Clapham South (if the Northern Line's not been part of some terrorist incident, of course).

The crossing at Holborn is the one place I know where it's probably the pedestrian who's in the wrong rather than the cyclist. And it is dangerous.

Quite agree, Owen.
One day I shall do a whole post on the pedestrian crossing at Holborn - maybe even a whole week.

I almost got knocked down on a zebra crossing by the driver of my ultimate number one pin-up hero.
Go on, what's the probability of that...?
