This could be things that once were commercialized but are now public domain, or have largely resisted commercialization to this day. In this context I mean this as aiming for profit and being sold/monetized.

    Bikes are an order of magnitude less dangerous by virtue of being an order of magnitude less massive.

      When operated correctly, they’re vastly safer. But it’s still quite possible to have a double fatality from a bike/pedestrian collision at speed: cyclist goes flying; ped falls over; two brains broken. It’s important for cyclists to follow traffic rules, stop at stop signs and for crosswalks, and bike on the street rather than the sidewalk in downtown areas.

      Of course. But they’re still fast moving pieces of metal, and people are soft and fleshy.
