The first low chance thing on that list that killed a person 2 degrees away from me was accidental gun discharge. It’s only so high because it’s grouped with other gun deaths, but I didn’t expect to know of someone so close with a 1 in 9288 of dying how they did
Everyone else I know who’s died used one of the top few methods (cancer, heart problems)
Ed. I read the whole list. The accidental gun shot death (caught his shotgun’s trigger on a barbed wire fence he was crossing) was the only unlikely death in my circles
In my area, hunters are taught to fully unload their gun, place the gun on the ground then cross the fence bare handed to help prevent accidental discharges.

We don’t have a gun culture in Australia like the US has, and we don’t have nearly the safety training. But yeah.
