Flat racing is more dangerous than jump racing, because they're running at a much faster speed. That's why on average flat track horses will retire before they reach the age of 5 years old, many before that age. Grand national horses range from about 7 year old to 15 year old.
The fences are much safer these days and they're always looking to improve the safety of both the horses and the Jockeys, but sadly, accidents do sometimes happen in life.
