I've updated Wikidata to deprecate the incorrect incidence rate from the kayaking paper, and replaced the incidence rate with more up-to-date data from the US BTS which puts it at 0.8 deaths per 100 million vehicle-miles in the US. Using the assumption from the kayaking paper of 100 miles/day being the average distance traveled by car, whitewater sports are therefore 7-8 times more likely to lead to death than traveling in a car.
New query showing more accurate incidence of death rates: https://w.wiki/3Src
Which is one hell of an assumption in case that wasn't obvious.
Even people with absurd commutes tend to have less than 100mi/day weekly or annual averages unless they're doing the same thing on the weekends.
