This came from the UK: Extreme sports killing those over 70 (years of age).

Supposedly, the number of fatalities from diving, mountaineering and skiing went from 5% in 2006 to 20% in 2009. Those over the age of 70 make up only 5% of the number of people participating in those sports.

The article also quoted someone who stated: “The participation in hazardous activities is much safer than what it was five years ago. The reality is that 70s is the new 50s – we are much fitter and aware of opportunities to take advantage of these sports.”

Wel,l that is good news….I think.
