The Weird Ways Australians Die!!
The Weird Ways Australians Die!
Tuesday 4 August 2015
I was talking to my fellow weirdo this morning and we were discussing how many Australians die in car related incidents a year compared to Americans. So I did a little google search and in 2014 33,561 Americans
died in car related incidents where in Australia is was only 1153. Which still isnt good but is better than Americans. Anyway, on my search I found an article called, 'The Weird Ways Australians Die'. Of course I read it and I was not disapointed.
You are statistically more likely to die falling out of bed, an exploading gas cylinder at your next barbecue.
You are three times more likely to die in front of a moving object if you're male, and twice as likely to die from cold than heat.
Being male is more hazardous in some respects.
Twice as many males died from exposure to high or low air pressure, although this was not widely dangerous, with a total of six fatalities.
You are nine times more likely to drown in the bath, than being hit by a train. (This one amuses me because I live across the road from a train track and I dont have a bath tub.)
Accidental poisoning by exposure to noxious substances is also deadly for men, killing more than twice as man (686) as females (301). (How do you accidenly poison yourself??)
If you are planning your next trip, choose plane over boat every time.
You are three times more likely to die from water transport accidents than "air and space" accidents.
Motor accidents aside, as far as public transport goes, stick to the conventional.
Nine Australians died from accidents on horse drawn vehicles, 15 on tractors or farm machines compared with one travelling by train, four on buses and a whopping 17 from off road vehicles.
The family home can be a dangerous place.
While eight people died falling from cliffs and 41 falling from a building, 58 people died just falling out of bed.
Men were three times more likely to die from falling, lying or running before or into a moving object, than women and 13 times as death prone when it came to falling, jumping or being pushed from a high place.
Long story short, watch out for men in most locations and fly instead of boating. Safe travels in the future and good luck!!
