Its a wonder I survived. Spent thousands of miles in a truck camper as a kid. Rode almost 100% of the time in the bed above the cab of the pickup.
Is there a risk? Yes. Is it a big risk? You decide. EVERYTHING carries some risk. Are you having a campfire? There is a risk of tripping, and falling in the fire. It happens.
I heard swimming pools mentioned. I have heard of drowning. Have you?
There is a difference if you are in heavy traffic, or out in the middle of Wyoming. Sometimes, being as safe as possible, may not be the ultimate goal.
