From getting struck by lightning or meteorite, to getting into a car or plane crash, we shall dive into the infrequently talked about topics and compare the chances of dying from these unfortunate events. What are some of the most common mutations or diseases? Which natural disaster is likely to claim the most lives. What are your odds of dying next year or even tomorrow? Compare the area size of the heptagon to visualize the odds of such events happening. Disclaimer: 1) This video is for entertainment purpose only, is not scientifically proven and should not be used as such. 2) Numbers presented sourced from numerous different websites/articles/books, and some have different probabilities for the same cause. Fact check with various other sources if you intend to use these figures. 3) Odds varies from different demographics, situational and geographical factors. The number listed may be for US or international, 2019 or 100 years ago, general population or specific groups. The sample are not known and may overlap. 4) For sources that list yearly probability, the formula to convert them to lifetime odds (assuming a 70 year occurrence period) is: 1 - (1 - "Odds of event not happening per year")^70. This may be inaccurate as odds would change according to age, as well as life expectancy. 5) Several odds that are not widely researched on (e.g. banana slip odds) are assumed and calculated based on total occurrence over total human population of 7 billion. 6) The causes are not mutually exclusive. Different conditions may lead to one another (Earthquake causing Tsunami, Hurricane causing Flood, Obesity causing Heart Attack etc). Some causes may be a subset of others (Fall from stairs & Fall in general etc). 7) Figures listed are rounded to 3 significant figures.
