This chart might be misleading in that it doesn’t account for the impact of a person’s skill on the danger. Some of these activities have a fixed risk (commercial flying), while others directly depend on how fit/agile/careful the person is, so the risk probably varies by orders of magnitude between individuals (motorcycling). At the more dangerous end, I’d expect the risk to be underestimated significantly: many people go skiing, only a few very fit people attempt to climb Everest.
I’m pretty sure this chart has been posted here before in a similar context, but probably won’t hurt reposting.

This actually looks pretty close to the thing I wanted, thanks!
