Your risk of death is 1 in 1

Only the root cause of biological death seems to have varying odds.  Will it be a tree cut down by a beaver that happens to land on you while you’re driving a white SUV, or will your cause of death be from a thunderbolt hitting you while you’re stooping over a makeshift latrine in the woods while proping your weight with an #3 iron golf club.

Here we’ll look at some slightly more common causes of death in the form of a chart.  You’re statistically least likely to die from a fireworks discharge, with odds of 1:340,733.  You’re stastically much more likely to die from a bicycling accident with odds of 1:4919 ….but the real kicker is the root causes of unplanned death.

Heart disease causes death in 1:6 people, while cancer gets 1:7 people.  Together, these two causes account for 31% of all deaths.
