It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

"Tends to" implies that it's more likely to happen than not.

Nope, it means something has a tendency to happen.

I love how venomously pendantic this exchange is.

Likely: having a high probability of occurring or being true : very probable

So it's subjective.

7% chance to have your face ripped open, do you consider it to be likely enough to take it into consideration when buying a helmet? If you had a 7% chance to crash every time you ride would you continue riding?

Now you're just being stupid on purpose.
