This would be accurate, if watering hole attacks[1] weren't a thing.

Nope, it's still accurate. There are always risks. This is one (it's not a common one, but it's a risk).

To reframe - my statement is akin to saying: the single safest thing you can do while driving is to pay attention to the road.

And you responding with: "This would be accurate, if trees falling on you weren't a thing."

Sure it's a risk, it's not the primary risk.
