I hate the trend toward Don't Run With Scissors


Very, very few know how to rate real risks or
what they are. Even the major ones.

[
The following all have the same risk of one in a million. For each one say
whether you think the risk would likely be over or under estimated by an

average
person and support your answer using the above factors of risk perception.


And also interesting that some activities have a smaller risk of death than
"Living".

FRA estimate of "Living" has a death rate of about 1.53 per million hours.

Flying (airline) is .15
Cycling (push bike) is .26
Automobile is .47

Some are not:

Motorcycling (road) is 8.80
