IMO road riding is more dangerous nowadays than in the past largely because of more cars and inattentive drivers. Still there are factors like spilled diesel fuel that is difficult to see. I once low sided on some invisible substance in a left turn lane in San Francisco. Down instantly at 5 mph, it was so slippery I couldn't stand up on it after the crash. Maybe Armorall or silicone.
My worst crash was into a moose on the Alcan Hwy but even a small dog or coyote can get you.
