Commenting on the findings, a spokesperson from Preszler Injury Lawyers, says: “While some people are comfortable exploring tourist attractions that can be dangerous, others understandably prefer to stick to spots where they can enjoy their time without any worries – especially those traveling with young families who may not fully understand the risks certain activities have.
“If you are hoping to travel in Canada this summer, somewhere like Ontario is a good destination to visit, as the province is home to a number of safe attractions that can be enjoyed with minimal risk.
“If you are keen to visit some of the more adventurous spots that Canada has to offer, it’s important that you check reviews and read up about companies beforehand to make ensure your safety is still prioritised.”
