Speaking from experience ( I'm a hunter/jumper ) jumping is much harder. While I believe both are dangerous at times, jumping horses ( especially stadium jumping ) is much harder due to the actual task at hand. Barrel racing is like the jump off round but without the actual jumps. As jumpers we're making the same sharp, pivoting turns while also having to jump over a standard that can be well over 5 ft high and we're having to do this while racing against the clock trying not only to jump the jump ( w/out horse refusing) but also jump it cleanly. Jumping is MUCH harder!
