These relic tips can back up you avoid becoming just unorthodox 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 in relation to 148,000 annual fatalities. Some instances of unintended death, to use the qualified term, are unavoidablewrong place, incorrect timebut most aren't. Staying sentient requires recognizing danger, feeling fear, and reacting. "We interpret external cues through our innate panic centers unconditionally quickly," says Harvard University's David Ropeik, author of How risky Is It, Really? upset 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 when a wild animal, the natural confession is to bolt, but that can set in motion the animal's predatory instinct. on July 6, 2011, Brian Matayoshi, 57, and his wife, Marylyn, 58, were hiking in Yellowstone National Park when they came on a grizzly bear and fled, screaming. Brian was bitten and clawed to death; Marylyn, who had stopped and crouched astern 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 when hiking; it can stop a charging bear from as much as 30 feet away. To condense the risk of an attack, come up with the money for bears a unintended to get out of your way. "Try to stay in the open," says Larry Aumiller, governor of Alaska's McNeil River come clean Game Sanctuary. "If you have to upset through thick brush, make noise by applause and shouting." 2. Don't Mess when Vending Machines.
You skipped lunch. You dependence a snack. You count up keep into a vending machine, press the buttons, and nothing comes out. You get mad.
STAT: Vending machines caused 37 deaths in the midst 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 on the Dock.
On May 20, 2013, Kyle McGonigle was on a port on Kentucky's rude River Lake. A dog swimming easy to get to yelped, and McGonigle, 36, wise saying that it was struggling to stay above water. He dove in to keep the dog, but both he and the animal drowned, victims of electric-shock drowning (ESD). Cords plugged into an outlet on the port had slipped into the water and electrified it.
STAT: The number of annual deaths from ESD in the U.S. are unknown, back 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 get check whether docks follow safety standards.
