Yeah like you're all correct, but the spraining an ankle thing is what I want people to be afraid of. Ever watch a city person try a rocky hike? They literally don't know how to walk.
I've lived in city outskirts all my life and have been getting into mountain climbing and rock scrambling from a club at my college. Maybe it's just my ADHD hyperness, but it's all been surprisingly very easy to pick it up
I feel like there's no practical concern if you're under 40 & have some athletic ability, and/or go with at least a couple friends/family/clubmates to look out for each other (or at very least on a trail where there's people everywhere)
I also think it's safer than ever bc of phones, assuming you're fully charged w a battery bank, case-protected, and enable a voice assistant for calls/texts if the screen cracks or you can't reach it. Most areas still have SOS call service when you lose bars, and if you're in an ultra-remote cellular dead zone, if you or someone you're with has a phone from the last 2-4 years then it can text via satellite
