Only 7x dangerous? I assumed it was like 100x... Is that 7x incidents or serious injury? It would also be interesting to see it expressed in hours rather than miles.

Walking must be practically suicidal by that measure.

You don't usually walk next to traffic; where I live, if you bike anywhere for transportation it is next to dangerous idiots driving death machines (Texas).

I would also guess it is much higher than 7x on a per-mile basis.
