HOWEVER, YOUR CHANCES OF DYING ARE 100%

Another reminder that the things we fear will kill us aren’t actually very likely to do us any harm, while the things we enjoy the most will probably end up killing us. An article titled “The Six Most Feared But Least Likely Causes of Death” explains that the most common fears we have are also the most improbable events we will ever encounter. For example, you would have to fly on an airplane every day for 19,000 years before the odds caught up with you and you died in a plane crash. Your odds of being attacked by a shark are only one in 11.5 million, being murdered is also exceedingly rare, and dying in a terrorist attack gives you odds of just one in 9.3 million. Meanwhile, the actual leading causes of death include all our favorite pastimes: smoking, drinking, poor diet and physical inactivities, car crashes, illicit drugs, and, according to this article, sexual behaviours.
