The Most Perfect Koala. I Will Never Get Over Living In A Country Where You Can Just Stumble Across This On A Walk Ten Minutes From The City
My Physics Teacher Defended Her House From Bushfires By Herself, And Then Waited Out The Fire In Her Pool Using A Scuba Tank

Homelessness. So many people want to seem like they care, but nobody wants to face the grim fact that **hundreds, if not thousands, of people in America freeze to death on the streets in the winter.** People are homeless for a variety of reasons; myself, I was getting away from abusers and had nowhere to go. I never got into hard drugs, but I easily could have, and many people do. That’s the thing—drug abuse usually doesn’t cause homelessness; homelessness consistently causes drug abuse.) And in that time I met people who became homeless due to disability, the death of a partner, the death of a parent, medical expenses from cancer treatments—and maybe literally 3-5 people who became homeless because of their drug habit, but they were VERY MUCH SO in the minority.

This is going to get buried since I’m answering so late in the game… Not a cause of death, but still extremely important info that I am constantly telling others about: suffering a spinal cord injury from diving into water. I’m a quadriplegic and run a nonprofit that works with people after they suffer a spinal cord injury. Other than car accidents, diving into water is the second most common cause for spinal cord injuries that we see. The worst part about it is that it is probably the most preventable cause. I’m constantly amazed that people will dive into water without knowing how deep it is, or even just jumping headfirst into an oncoming wave on the beach. If you are going to dive into the water, dive straight out, not down so that your head will potentially hit the bottom or a submerged object that you didn’t know was there. If you have kids, teach this PLEASE!

Anorexia has a higher death rate than depression. It has the highest death rate among all mental disorders

Odd fact I learned over New Years, Champagne corks [take out] more people that spiders on average every year. I think the yearly average is 34 deaths.

Stairs. 20 million severe injuries each year and at least 200.000 death from consequences of the fall. Both my grandparents died because of a fall.

Well, here we go. Not exactly a huge surprise but once upon a time I worked with a regional set of hospitals coordinating nationwide cause of death reports and statistics. - 80% of all organ donor tissues cannot be accepted due to safety concerns around organ recovery. - I won't say how much, but a surprisingly high percentage of successful organ donors are motorcyclists. - Cheerleading , particularly involving gymnastic/aerobatic actions is one of , if not the leading causes of death for young women under 18. - Football, is a major cause of CTE, and an unexpectedly large number of football and hockey players die in younger life. - Gunshot injuries and suicides are seasonal, something you can discern by way of the death-rate in provinces and territories where it is dark for long periods of winter, Seasonal Affective Disorder is no joke. Talk to your physician first but SAD can be treated with Vitamin D and getting as much sunlight exposure as possible.
