(1/12, Ritter) reports, "The overall figures translate to 1 cardiac
arrest per 184,000 participants and one death per 259,000 participants,
the researchers said." These "numbers are low compared to other
athletic activities, as shown by prior studies of deaths in college
athletes, triathlon participants and previously healthy middle-aged
joggers, researchers said."
