These leftover tips can assist you avoid becoming just unusual statistic. Accidents are the leading cause of death in the midst of U.S. men 18 to 50 years old, accounting for 37,000 of the all but 148,000 annual fatalities. Some instances of chance death, to use the official term, are unavoidablewrong place, wrong timebut most aren't. Staying flesh and blood requires recognizing danger, feeling fear, and reacting. "We interpret outside cues through our innate radio alarm centers utterly quickly," says Harvard University's David Ropeik, author of How risky Is It, Really? worry is, even smart, sober, experienced men can fail to register signals of an imminent threat. Here we gift 20 easy-to-miss risks, and how to avoid or survive them.
1. Outsmart Wildlife.
If you arrive face-to-face with a wild animal, the natural response is to bolt, but that can motivate the animal's predatory instinct. upon July 6, 2011, Brian Matayoshi, 57, and his wife, Marylyn, 58, were hiking in Yellowstone National Park with they came upon a grizzly bear and fled, screaming. Brian was bitten and clawed to death; Marylyn, who had stopped and crouched in back a tree, was approached by the bear but left unharmed.
STAT: Each year three to five people are killed in North America in wild animal attacks, primarily by sharks and bears.
DO: Avoid shark-infested waters, unless you are Andy Casagrande. As for bears, always carry repellent pepper vaporizer with hiking; it can end a charging bear from as much as 30 feet away. To reduce the risk of an attack, pay for bears a chance to get out of your way. "Try to stay in the open," says Larry Aumiller, commissioner of Alaska's McNeil River allow in Game Sanctuary. "If you have to shape through thick brush, create noise by ovation and shouting." 2. Don't Mess with Vending Machines.
You skipped lunch. You dependence a snack. You tally allowance into a vending machine, press the buttons, and nothing comes out. You get mad.
STAT: Vending machines caused 37 deaths in the middle of 1978 and 1995, crushing customers who rocked and toppled the dispensers. No recent stats exist, but the machines are yet a danger.
DON'T: Skip lunch.
3. Stay upon the Dock.
On May 20, 2013, Kyle McGonigle was upon a haven upon Kentucky's aggressive River Lake. A dog swimming understandable yelped, and McGonigle, 36, saying that it was struggling to stay above water. He dove in to save the dog, but both he and the animal drowned, victims of electric-shock drowning (ESD). Cords plugged into an outlet upon the haven had slipped into the water and electrified it.
STAT: The number of annual deaths from ESD in the U.S. are unknown, before they are counted in the midst of every drownings. But anecdotal evidence shows that ESD is widespread. ESD prevention groups have successfully urged some states to enact safety standards, including the installation of ground-fault circuit interrupters and a central shutoff for a dock's electrical system.
DON'T: Swim within 100 yards of any wired dock. But complete check whether docks follow safety standards.
