How dangerous is soaring?

Gliding is actually statistically considerably safer than Horse Riding,
which does not generally seem to be regarded as risky.

What are the horse riding statistics and what are they based on based
on? Hours in the saddle or something else? Do horse riders log and
report the hours they ride to some controlling authority that compiles
the statistics? Are the statistics broken down into the many types of
horse riding?

I suspect there is very poor data on the time exposure to most of the
risks that kill people, except of course total hours lived prior to
the fatal event.
