My opinion is that outdoor pursuits CAN be dangerous, but, that proper education-training, gear selection and, especially, attitude, can and will alleviate most risks.

I couldnt agree with this more. Most people that perish from the perils of winter does so from the lack of training or being prepared. We just did a SCUBA dive last week in -5 degrees. My son dove in a wet suit and did two dives, one being at 60 feet. Nobody was hypothermic and we all came home having fun.
