Snowmobiling, snowboarding, snow skiing, snowman making,... All the the same. Just crazy pastimes for those Canucks waiting for their 2 months of summer to show up.Refer to thread title: What is safer overall, recreational diving or snowmobiling??

In Australia, snowmobiling would definitely be safer. Why? I am pretty sure that there is no place a lay person could legally ride a snowmobile.

Statistics? (I have never seen a diver hit a tree at 60mph!)
SCUBA (worldwide)
1 out of every 211,864 dives ending in a fatality does not seem so great a number when compared with the fatality rates of other activities. (per DAN)
Snowmobiles (just in North America)
Each year snowmobile accidents produce approximately 200 deaths and 14,000 injuries.
