4 wheeler or snow machine ,the darn thing rolls over you..you are the crumple zone
We had a VP in Utah get rolled over by his quad, from VP, top of the world of a major Sofware company, to quadriplegic in the blink of an eye..
3 things scare the **** out of me, I'll never even try em: Quads, snow Machines and parapente chutes (low wing loading= high risk of collapse from gusts or fancy maneuvers )

Not disagreeing with you at all but on a snowmobile, you can somewhat manage the risk with your choices if you are the operator...same as on a motorcycle. But yeah, they are really potentially dangerous. Where I'm from, people die on them every winter in measurable numbers.
