Risks of Death

I recently noticed this article, Police Offer Safety Tips After Deaths, referring to pedestrian deaths. Looks like it has good tips.

How at risk are we? The National Safety Council has an interesting chart of Odds of Death Due to Injury (United States, 2004). In it you can see deaths by numerous causes, such as fire, car accidents, falls, poisons, and more.Did you know we are more at risk of Exposure to excessive natural cold – 676, Inhalation and ingestion of food causing obstruction of respiratory tract – 878, than Drowning (water transportation accident) – 421? Compare that to Pedestrian deaths - 5,976! Wow, so it means we all better read the above tips.
