“Can Turn Deadly Way Too Quickly”: 42 Seemingly Harmless Things That Can Be Incredibly Dangerous
Many people fear things like being attacked by a shark, struck by lightning, or swept away by a tornado. The good news is that these events are very unlikely to happen. But the bad news is that many mundane and seemingly harmless phenomena are much more dangerous and closer to us than we might imagine, posing a greater threat than the irrational phobias we carry with us.
To learn more about what risks are exactly lurking around us, we asked Bored Panda readers to list some of the things they believe are commonly seen as safe but are actually dangerous. Scroll down to find the most popular answers, and don’t forget to share your own insights below.

The combination of church and state.
Religion. Stands out as the single most harmful entity since time began.
Organized religion is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on humanity.
Load More Replies...As what the Oklahoma State Superintendent of Schools has decreed: The Bible MUST be taught in all grades beginning in 5th I believe. Forgetting all the other religions. I AM a Christian and a retired public school teacher from Oklahoma. I would have retired or resigned on the spot. There are two arguments here. The First Amendment!! Freedom of Speech and just what was said here: The separation of church and state!!
My religion gives me comfort. I think that is true for a lot of people.
I'm uncomfortable about being taxed to promote anyone's religion. That's true for a lot of people too.

People doing stupid pranks on strangers.... Someone is going to pick the wrong person on the wrong day.
Pranks were supposed to be funny but nowadays some people think punching strangers in the face and filming it is a prank
Rule of thumb. If the target of the prank isn't going to find it funny, it's not funny.
It's already happened. "Pranksters" have been shot, slashed, maced, beat up, or arrested.
I remember a prank where the prankster pretended to be a zombie and started chasing a group of men and one of the group pulled out a gun. In an interview afterwards he was asked why he didn’t shoot it and he said because guns don’t stop zombies. Very lucky guys, both of them.
This reminds me of that prank I saw that a guy put toothpaste in oreo for a homeless guy to eat. People that are older tell me that pranks are funny, but it doesn't look funny to me tbh. How is making people sad, funny?
It's not, and never has been. It's a form of bullying. Doing it for "likes" is even more dumb.
Load More Replies...it has happened, Youtube "prankster" Tanner Cook was shot and wounded by Alan Colie, when he tried to prank Colie with one of those stupid pranks. Colie had a Conceal Carry permit, and shot in what he thought was self defense. A jury acquitted Colie of all charges other than "unlawful discharge of a weapon in an occupied building". Cook and his family still try to justify his stupidity as "he was just trying to have fun"
I watched a video some idiots did and it goes like this: A big black guy (I mean all muscles) sitting in front of a business, taking a break, and on his shirt is written, "SECURITY." The 130 lb prankster goes in front of him and starts calling him names including N while the other moron is filming the whole thing. I'll leave it to your imagination to figure out what happens next. I almost s**t my pants laughing.
Listening to unlicensed influencers, advertisements, politicians/entertainment news folks and Facebook posts in regard to healthcare matters.
I think inluencers should have to have large persistant disclaimers: i am being sponsored by company xxx or i graduated with a marketing degree not a doctor.
Yes! Always know who is giving them money and know who your money would be going to.
Load More Replies...Never listen to "influencers". Do lots of research with respected bodies.
You mean like the right wing medbed scam that cures everything? They claim it is a top secret military device developed that heals all disorders that the medical corporations are keeping a secret! They have been brainwashed into mistrusting anything that the government and mainstream science based medicine does. So they fall for a device that claims to fix everything with magical rays.

To find the mundane things that we think are safe but actually aren’t, we don’t have to dig deep. Most of us use them in our daily lives without even realizing it.
An independent American laboratory, Valisure, and its dozen scientists over the past five years have discovered potentially cancer-causing chemicals in commonly used medications, hand sanitizers, sunscreens, antiperspirant body sprays, and dry shampoos.

Riding a motorcycle without proper gear, despite the heat.
My adult son used to ride but always wore a good quality helmet. One night his bike flipped on uneven pavement and he flew headfirst into the curb. There was a fist size chunk missing from his helmet. He had a concussion and thankfully, no broken bones. I still think of it every time I see a rider with no helmet. You have only one head. Protect it!
It really is frightening how many bikers I see wearing a helmet, shorts and t shirt. Yep your head will probable be ok but the rest of your body will skin less.
One of my very good friends in my teenage years had a dad who had been in a VERY bad motorcycle accident a few years before we met. It had happened on a California freeway. He had been clipped by a car and ended up swerving, clipping the guardrail, and flipping end over end. He had been wearing a helmet and full-body leather motorcycle-riding protective gear. He broke a ridiculous number of bones, and spent some months in the hospital, but survived with no brain damage and without needing skin grafts.
Load More Replies...As someone who used to own a bike, please wear your helmet. My helmet saved my life. Wear the freakin helmet!
Most of the time its not the rider that is at fault, its all the other drivers that don't bother paying attention. How about you all think about that?
While true, one mistake while riding a motorcycle (be it from the rider or not), and that mistake will either be a life changing injury, or a life ending one without the proper gear. A helmet to protect your head, and a leather/riding jacket and proper pants to make sure you the road cleaners won't have to clean the rider's skin, blood, and other things off the pavement.
Load More Replies...Moto gear isnt generally very breathable, especially if you live in a place where summer is HOT.

Getting your neck “popped” by a chiropractor.
Knew a petit lady, about 50, who ended up paralyzed from the neck down and then died from getting her neck cracked.
Cervical adjustments can cause strokes. The few I experienced left me dizzy and spaced out. Never again. The only effective thing I received from a chiropractor were the exercises. And a physical therapist is better to go to for that. Plus health insurance covers PT. And "applied kinesiology" to pinpoint food allergies is a scam. Got to four different chiros and you will get four different lists of food allergies.
Load More Replies...My mom was an occupational therapist and had a handful of patients that were paralyzed from chiropractors. Never ever will I go to one. Also, they're not medical doctors.
What?! How would anyone in their right minds, trust their baby's life with a procedure that could possibly kill them? Those tiny humans are already soft and fragile, one wrong move, even from a trained professional, can be endgame.
Load More Replies...My doctor suggested a chiropractor for my back issues. I told him, "Why don't I just disembowel a chicken and read its entrails?" He's never mentioned chiropractic since.
We've moved on to doing it to babies and pets now. Let's just stop at people/ creatures who can consent and then if it all goes wrong it's their own fault. Hanging upside down is something my friend does and seems to help their back, I hate hanging upside down because of blood ressure changes -but to its credit it's free and no jerking of any bones..
Chiropractic care is junk science. I reviewed a lot of medical records in my 22 years working as a personal injury law paralegal and I could've retired at 40 if I had a dollar for every time I read 'clavicular and pelvic unleveling' in chiro records.
Go see a Physical Therapist before you go see a chiropractor, usually covered by insurance, and much more highly educated. You can find a PT that specializes in the specific kind of pain/problems you're experiencing.
Even if I see a chiropractor with all the licenses and degrees and PhD's or whatever, that's possible to ever achieve, I still won't go to one. Too risky imo
Organized religion.
Religion is just another way to control people - some good, some bad. But it really worked on royalty, at least until Henry VIII, since even royalty can be threatened by a painful afterlife.That's why so many churches should be losing their non-profit status when their leaders are directing them how to vote.
Load More Replies...I have a strong faith and a religious. I don’t hurt anyone and try my best to be a good person. What is so wrong with this?
Nothing. The problem comes from the religions that think they have the right to dictate to everyone how to behave. A church can set behavioral expectations for its congregation. When it starts getting laws passed to force people who aren't in its congregation to behave that way, that's the problem. And it's happening more and more frequently.
Load More Replies...In MY opinion most [ if not all ] "organized" religion is not much different than organized crime...
A gun that is supposedly not loaded.
Also, never, never, NEVER look down the barrel of a gun. EVER.
Load More Replies...Ask any military guy if he thinks civilians get enough training to use their guns they can legally buy. Then watch his reaction.
I've known plenty of career military who I trust with firearms even less than their clueless civilian counterparts. I wouldn't even trust them to be in the same room as an unloaded one. And plenty of others who know how to use them but didn't get the unsafe fully beat out of them in basic. Idiot handlers exist all over the place.
Load More Replies...Super easy to just check real quick, which is what any responsible gun owner does when they pick one up.
That was the FIRST lesson I had with guns, always treat a gun as if it were loaded. The sane applies to many other things too, like always treat power tools as plugged in or energized, and for some treat them as loaded too...
Despite common belief, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration isn’t thoroughly analyzing every shampoo or supplement that is available for sale. Interestingly enough, the FDA doesn’t have to approve most cosmetics before they are put on the shelves. Not to mention the effect it will have on our health after years of daily use.
Approaching and/or feeding wildlife.
Feeding wildlife is even more dangerous than approaching. Feeding means wildlife becomes accustomed to people and unafraid. Ask any wildlife official. In Colorado it is against the law. Wild animals have been feeding themselves for all of history. Human help is not needed and so very dangerous. You endanger everyone when you feed wild animals.
Depends very much on what kind of wildlife. I have yet to see anyone savaged by a blue tit!
If the tit is blue, it's cold enough for the nipple to be a serious weapon!
Load More Replies...This act has created a new term "touron"..., a tourist who's a moron and seems to originate from people in parks like Yellowstone, trying to get too close to a bison...or bear...for example
I remember that term from being in Yellowstone in the 1980s. Then it also applied to people going off walkways.
Load More Replies...On the other extreme, the rural area I live in is thinking of legalizing cat colonies. This is when people put out food to feed feral cats. Those cats number in the thousands now just around town. We have four that we chase away daily. They are killing millions of wild birds. They are pissing and peeing in our gardens, peeing on my outside grill, scratching my car hood paint when they climb on top to get warm in the winter. Generally have become a nusance because rural folk think cats are cute.
Getting them spayed and neutered would be more effective than chasing away. Surveyors of cat colonies will do exactly that.
Load More Replies...You should only approach/feed wildlife naked so the animal will be comfortable that everyone is in their natural state.
I know this is a joke, but I believe there was a Russian marine biologist that actually did that when approaching whales, in freezing waters none-the-less.
Load More Replies...Much more so than approaching or feeding wildlife. Is picking up wildlife, and poking wildlife with a stick and kicking it. In my country it's safe to approach and feed all wildlife, but not to pick the blooming thing up.
We were at Zion and some dude is feeding a squirrel Oreos. He puts the package in the pack and then gets p****d because the squirrel is trying to get in the pack for more. The squirrel is getting pretty aggressive now. This is happening right in front of one of the signs about not feeding the wildlife. I point to the sign, and say yep that's why they say don't feed the wildlife. His response was he was just giving it crumbs so that didn't count as feeding.
They are called wildlife for a reason. They can find food on their own, unless they have some kind of injury
I thought they were called wildlife because they tend to live their lives wildly. It goes from mild wild to wild child, with the latter lasting throughout their lifetime, no matter the age.

Going anywhere where is a large crowd.
Or staying home! I mean, most accidents happen at home.
Load More Replies...Humans can and will stampede. Panicked people are completely out of control. Countless deaths have resulted.
I've read so many stories about people dying from the crush of crowds. It doesn't even take a panic - just a tightly-packed space with no easy way out. The crowd shifts slightly, people move to fill a space, somebody loses their footing, etc. I won't put myself in a crowd at all anymore.
Load More Replies...As I get older, I do get more anxious when in large crowds.
Those kinds of places are usually targets for terrorist attacks and bombings
I feel anxiety just looking at that picture. I immediately scanned for the exits.
Agreed! Everyone should stay home so it will be less crowded and prices will drop.
Cooking yourself in the sun.
Or heat exhaustion or heat stroke, extreme dehydration, organ faulure and DEATH. I just had a brush with it yesterday, I was in shade and I did drink lots of water and It was "only" 95f out ( ive spent MANY hours in 100+ without issues) and only 3 or 4 hours... and was sweating, soon after I came in out of the heat I became dizzy, nauseated, visuin blurred. I realized I had missed signs of dehydration and heat related injury...
Load More Replies...Weird how this is changing in younger generations. Back when I was younger (I'm 38), it wasn't uncommon for people to go to tanning salons or lay out in the sun all the time. But I recently went to my 18 y/o niece's graduation party (it was acually a pool party) and - when asked by her parents if she was going to go outside - her response was, "I'm not trying to get cancer!" Personally, I don't think either is the right option... baking in the sun with no sunscreen = cancer... refusing to go outside because of "potential cancer" = a life not truly lived. Balance, people! Go outside, but wear your sunscreen.
My mom and sister used to go to tanning salons when I was a kid in the 80s. I used to spend a LOT of time outside playing (again, 80s XD ) and then I had a pre-cancerous mole removed from one shoulder when I was a teenager. I've been hypervigilant about sun exposure since - and I live in a beach town XD I look ludicrous when I go to the beach fully dressed and sit under an umbrella, but it's better than cancer!

Fireworks.
Melanie Findley:
Whoever thinks fireworks are safe is more dangerous than fireworks.
It's literally gunpowder enriched with minerals to give the colours. Here in the Netherlands a fireworks depot that somehow was allowed to exist in city limits blew up years ago. Even with the specially built storage shacks it devastated a huge part of that city and caused enormous grief. And despite a lot of campaigns and cheap safety gear we still get a lot of maimed by their own fireworks people in hospitals on New Years.
And in America we have those who put the fireworks in their mouths.
Load More Replies...In the major cities at least, I foresee drone displays replacing traditional fireworks
Many years ago, the small town I was living in had fireworks for the 4th, and planned to go all out for the grand finale, so had a lot of fireworks stored near the mortars. A kid tossed some fireworks into them, setting them off. It was spectacular chaos, mostly ground explosions, but the blasts knocked over the mortars, and set some of those off, sending large fireworks shooting through town, detonating at low height. Miraculously, no one was injured, and no one's house burned down. We all had to admit in the end that it was the most exciting fireworks show we'd been to! :)
There was a firework sold everywhere when I was a kid that you nailed to a tree (I guess that was the only option) then you light it and it spun around releasing all the fireworks. My neighbors did it, set the palm tree on fire and the ones adjacent to it also went up in flames. Have always disliked fire works and this made it more official for me. Many cities in my area barred them for years and now are allowing them back in, so I dislike whenever the 4th of July rolls around.
I've seen some pretty f*caked up x-rays of peoples' hands and fireworks.
My husband came home from his work at 911 and said they had a call that day where a man, in an alley with his friends, kids, and pregnant wife, tried to light a mortar. When it didn't go off, he decided to look. My husband emphasized he didn't blow OFF his head, he blew it UP. Several calls from the surrounding neighbors...Only professionals should be handling these things.
Add the TikTok challenge, I believe it was ...of people firing those at each other in the street.
Thinking that bears in their backyard are cute when they actually eat people. Also, trying to tease buffalo on the road in Yellowstone.
Poorly expressed. Bears are adorable period. There is no problem thinking animals are cute and admiring nature. Just don't be dumb about it. You may think the bear is cute but it doesn't feel the same about you. Also you are not on a Bears food chain. Yes a bear can and will kill you and in desperation eat you. Most bear encounters don't end that way. It's actually very rare. Doesn't mean you should try to get closer or not take an encounter seriously. If you're smart about nature it's really not all that terrifying. Sorry I just have an issue with the framing of Bears as man hunting killing machines. Unless it's polar Bears, still cute but they will for sure eat you. Cuteness best enjoyed from very long distances.
Hold on a moment. During 2020-2022, bears have killed 8 people in the USA. Let's compare that to car fatalities. In the same period, there were 124,558 fatalities. Chances of "death by bear" is 0.000064% in comparison to "death by car". This item on the list should be "cars", not "bears".
Unless you are trying to pet them, which is what this post is referring to. In which case your death by bear chances increase drastically.
Load More Replies...There's a black bear that wanders through the woods behind our yard. And he IS cute...BUT. I don't get near it. I don't put put food out...I respect it.
I have read that there is in average one fatal black bear attack per year in the US.
I mean they are cute. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be scarred or try to approach them
They are cute, well most of them and just because they're wild animals doesn't mean you have to be scared* of them. You should most definitely use caution if you have to get within a close proximity, but don't approach them unnecessarily.

Buddy of mine experienced this. Pulled up and let the car keep "slow rolling" while he checked both ways. Unfortunately, the "A" pillar (the strut between windshield and passenger window) was blocking is view of someone using the crosswalk. Because both he and the pedestrian were moving, the person was always behind the pillar. Just as he hit the gas, he saw them. If he had STOPPED, he would have seen them right away. Thankfully, he did NOT hit them but it was close enough that they could have reached out and slapped his fender. o.O
Yep. And thanks to that moron, my hip and back are f*cked for the rest of my life.
“There’s lead in pigments in lipstick,” she says. “If you wear lipstick once a month, it’s probably not a big exposure.” But it’s hard to say if wearing it a few times a week is enough to cause health problems over the years or decades. What complicates matters even more is that it’s nearly impossible to isolate which chemicals may pose a threat to our well-being, as we’re constantly exposed to toxins at low concentrations.
Vaping.
I'm afraid that we're on the threshold of an enormous increase in lung diseases among young people.
It's a lower risk but still a risk. And vaping was supposed to be only for smokers to improve their health and risks, now it's a gateway for kids as traditional smoking very expensive.
Load More Replies...Better than inhaling burning leaf smoke. Its not great. But much better by comparison if you have to choose.
I used a vape to stop smoking Marlboro Reds. Now I neither smoke nor vape. I personally think it can be used correctly.
Load More Replies...There's no science to support this assertion...yet. As a vaper, I happen to also believe that grave health consequenses from vaping will be revealed in the coming years and as data rolls in but in the meantime, we simply don't know how dangerous it is - aside from elevated blood pressure and heart rate.
Five years, perfect blood pressure and can jog and walk at a good pace with no issues.
Load More Replies...Health issues are more likely to happen when the user is "dosing",. By keeping all the vapor in the lungs instead of blowing it out, glycerin and micro water droplets are kept whitin the lungs, which cause health issues much more earlier than cigarettes.
My mother has lung cancer, (ex smoker stopped 16 years ago, but smoked for approximately 40 years), and when she first had her lung removed we were sat chatting to some other ladies waiting to go into the treatment rooms. One lady was around the same age as my mother, the other was 30 years old. The younger lady had never touched a cigarette in her life, however she had vaped since her early 20s. She had stage 4 terminal cancer. Her surgeon said that she had lungs of an 80 year old who had smoked Woodbines all their life... all down to vaping! Not enough research was done on vaping. It was supposed to cut down on the amount of cigarettes people were smoking. However, even vapes have nicotine and a whole plethora of chemicals that have no business being in our bodies. I live on a thoroughfare from the local school to the centre of the village. Kids between 11 and 16 years of age pass by on their way to and from school - smoking vapes! It is scary!!
Lesser of two evils. We KNOW that smoking is bad. Plus it doesn't stink as bad and costs less. If I quit vaping I know I would go back to cigarettes
I've had so many people tell me it's safer than smoking cigarettes. It's not.
Problem with vaping arise when the user is "diso r keeping the vapor in its lungs instead, of

Cycling without a helmet.
Not many Dutch share that view. Getting more common but the majority still goes without
The reason most Dutch people don't feel the need for helmets is there's such fantastic cycling infrastructure. Very often cyclists and motorised vehicles are kept separate. It's when cars hit cyclists that the real damage is done. If the cyclists and cars only interact at slow speeds then there's little damage.
Load More Replies...Horseback riding too. It's especially bad among people who ride Western (cowboy) style. It doesn't matter how good of a rider you are - if your horse trips as falls you can end up brain damaged for life. That actually happened to an Olympic dressage rider.
"They're uncomfortable." Ya know what else isn't comfortable? A slab in the morgue.
Depending on where you are, cycling on roads is an accident waiting to happen. My city tried to make things bicycle-friendly... "share the road" signs... bike lanes... even bicycle street lights... but that doesn't stop morons from drunk driving or texting or whatever the hell else they're doing. It is WAY too common to hear of a "cyclist hit by vehicle" than it should be. I'll take the cycling trails, thanks.

Sleeping with babies in their beds - can turn deadly way too quickly.
It sometimes happens out of sheer tiredness of the parent, it is rarely a voluntary activity.
I get that, but wasn't co-sleeping a trend recently debated about whether it was good for the kids and the parents ideally.
Load More Replies...actually, sleeping in the same bed is rarely the problem. One has to be careful with pillows and covers, not to cover with your own giant cover etc, nothing that will keep the baby breathing in and out the same air, clean bed with secure sides so baby don`t fall out and no smoking. co-sleeping is good for both, falling asleep in chair with baby or with the baby on your belly is not, while breastfeeding in a strange spot is not. So it`s better to co sleep properly, than to accidentaly, sleep deprived take the baby to sleep in a chair, and then fall asleep by accident.
The problem is that theory and reality are two different shoes. I SWORE not to let my baby sleep in my bed. Then when my little one was born, the hospital (which specifically has a very renowned birth unit) MADE me sleep with her the first night. They said it was necessary. Then my midwife - who’s been doing this job for 20 years, who works both in a hospital and as an independent midwife, repeatedly insisted that no sober parent would accidentally lie on their baby and not realise it. All the young parents around me let their babys sleep in their beds. So while I‘m definitely not recommending it, I can absolutely understand how parents end up sleeping together with their babys.
They are suppposed to have a cot that hangs into or just outside of the bed to prevent just that risk. Some midwives are on power trips and that is verabatum from a midwife in my family. There are very good and some bad ones out there which is very scary given how vulnerable mothers to be and new mums are.

Ouch. But sadly it's true. We have our horrors on this side, mostly with knives, but those would have always ended up worse if the nutcase could have gotten hold of a gun. Knives are dangerous in the hands of crazies, but guns much much more so.
Indeed. It's very hard to indiscriminately knife people to death from the 39th storey of a tower block.

Schools are controlled by teacher's unions, who are largely corrupt and ineffective. The unions back the Democrats who raise taxes to fund education, yet the literacy rate diminishes. Complete money-laundering scheme and boondoggle. Want to improve US education: get rid of the unions, DEI hires, and woke policies; return to teaching classical education.
Plenty of other countries have high levels of gun ownership and yet have zero cases of school shootings.

Most foods in the American diet.
Sugar would be better. They use corn syrup (or a derivative) which prior to being used as a sweetener was used to fatten livestock prior to slaughter

Humans are carnivores. The more meat you eat, the longer and healthier you live.

I even tasted the difference when I went to the UK. Everything packed with sugar. A friend who worked for Mars told me they put more sugar in the UK Mars bars then their mainland European bars. I firmly believe it is harder to stay slim in the UK then in the Netherlands for example.
Yep. Was in the UK too. I saw people that moved there just around the same time I did, all got fatter while not changing their eating habits, and wondering why.

Load More Replies...Diet is a choice and the US has more options than any other country. Freedom comes with personal responsibility.
Don't be so naive. When poverty (disguised as a "cost of living crisis") is increasing, and the unhealthiest food is the cheapest and easiest, then the availability of healthy food does not mean an ability to buy.
Load More Replies...Food corporations have scientists who design foods to be addictive. Those foods fill our gas station shelves. Those foods offer zero nutrition. I often wonder how scientists and engineers who designed weapons of mass destruction could live with them selves morally. I wonder how food chemists live with themselves knowing they are the true cause of obesity.
The number of food additives that are freely used in the USA that are either banned outright or only allowed in very limited quantities in most other Western countries.
Even the water that we consume daily to survive is not completely safe. Bottled H2O that we buy in stores has been found to contain microplastics that may accumulate in the body and cause health issues in the long run. However, as with the chemicals mentioned previously, the health effects of microplastics aren’t yet fully proven.
Having guns in the home.
Guns are merely tools and like many tools if used improperly can cause unintentional injury or d e a t h. If you have a gun/guns get trained in it's proper use, train regularly (it is a perishable skill) and have a proper mindset about its use
The training should be a prerequisite to ownership, not just a "good idea."

This. Blows me away how may women just "want to have a baby" and don't know/understand that it's actually a life-threatening adventure. It's a miracle because women used to die ALL THE TIME, not because of the "miracle of life."
The fact that this country has the worst mortality rate among pregnant women. Is a crime.
They don't tell you a lot of risks when for example you have IVF. Risk of all eggs implanted surviving for one. Enjoy your triplets that you body physically can't handle.
Family friend had 2 embryos put in her, so they said that at most, she’d have twins. Surprise! One of the embryos split and she ended up with triplets
Load More Replies...I keep seeing signs on schoolyards saying "Every Child Matters", it should be accompanied by "Support Planned Parenthood", so that un-planned children don't fall into the 'un-wanted' class.
Every pregnancy has a risk of complications resulting in temporary and permanent health problems/injuries and death for the mother and baby. Don’t be so ignorant. The healthiest pregnancy can still end of up in death during birth. You have no way of knowing. Thats why forcing women to go though with pregnancies is just morally repugnant.

Drinking alcohol.
Know your limits, designate a driver, use public transit, call a ride.
Those all have to be arranged in advance though as alcohol chemically alters your perception of risk and foresight varying on the person. Designate a driver works the rest may not.

Alcohol disinhibits behavior. 85 percent of violent crimes involve alcohol. Pot is much better for you and society.
Number 1 cause of fatal traffic accidents, along with other alcohol-related causes of death.
Except the people that usually die seem to be the ones that are either in the car with them or in the car that they wreck into. Somehow the drunk driver usually walks away.

There are drunk animals out there as things in nature ferment.
Load More Replies...It is a neurotoxin after all. When you first got drunk, your speech was slurred, and your legs failed to work and your balance was gone, did that not give you a hint that this was not a good thing to consume?
The main takeaway here is that we should be more cautious of the things that look the most harmless, not the ones that have a one in 4 million chance of happening, like a shark attack.

Hiking in the wilderness, visiting National Parks. People think everywhere is Disneyland.
If everyone went to parks etc... with the intention of leaving no trace of their presence, it would be way better. If you can't go and leave the environment better than you found it, please don't go, so the rest of us can enjoy it.
As with many other activities: it can be enjoyable and safe as long as you stick to instructions and regulations that were devised because someone made a grave mistake by not following the proscribed principle based on common sense.
I'm shocked by the deaths of people hiking in places like Arizona and other desert parks where temperatures are reaching record highs. the warnings are out and they still go and end up dying.
There was a severe injury in the last couple of weeks in Death Valley. As odd as it sounds, it is safer to cover up. I'd rather sweat than have another bad sunburn.
Load More Replies...I would wager that Disneyland is less safe for most visitors than any National Park.
Letting a toddler play with a pill bottle just because it has a child safety cap on it.
People who actually think that if they are hard for an adult to open, the kid won't be able to either. I have not seen a child yet that couldn't defeat childproofing measures.
Load More Replies...What parent or adult in their right mind would allow a toddler to play with a pill bottle!?
I feel the same way. Many times, I have to ask my husband to open one for me🤦♀️
Load More Replies...I never heard of anybody doing this. Couldn't you think of something real?
just why would you even do that? if the child wants to play with it you should probably empty it and maybe clean it (???)
Child safety caps are a joke. Kids can get right past nearly all of them.
My 3 year old managed to get the cap off a jug of muratic acid. I woke up to him saying Hot, Mommy, HOT ! The stuff was burning holes in his pajamas and the fabric was smoking. So much for safety caps. That wasn't the only lid he managed to get off. Another time he got the cap off a bottle of clorox and we rounded the corner as he was taking a swig... We ended up having to put double child locks on all cabinets and doors so you needed two hands to open them. Needless to say, he ended up an only child. Then he discovered the joys of climbing...sigh.
Children are QUICK! I had some close calls with my son as well.

Swimming in any body of water in Florida and Louisiana.
It's not just the gators. There's some gnarly pathogens in that warm water, and dangerous marine life, rip currents, etc. in salt water. Of the two, fresh water is much more dangerous.
Highest population of alligators, would be my guess
Load More Replies...Thankfully I survived my Louisiana childhood. I love floating in a lake, out deep enough that I can't touch the ground. So much of living life is about educating yourself about the activity and calculated risks. Don't go into any of these listed situations without educating yourself.
No gators in the ocean, though! You're fine on a saltwater beach in Florida!
Very deep swimming pools with my friends (all of us are teens, that pool party was fun as hell but I swear to god the amount of shoving eachother underwater and also seeing if you can dive off the diving board over multiple peoples heads was insane, and we should probably not be alive, but we are-)
Riding horses.
Gerd Hegge:
I hate to admit that you might be right (I've been riding for more than 50 years)
Horses are huge beasts made of a lot of muscle, that can spook and hurt you if frightened. I also know of a horse that tended to bite people viciously for no apparent reason. (Probably a bad history there) They are big animals, treat them with respect.
I love horses but they are somtimes stupid. One of my friends has a horse which was located at the same stable for a minimum of 15 years. One of the riding tracks she regularly used had a large stone next to the path behind a corner. The horse ALWAYS jumped when noticing the stone. She KNEW the track, but still "WHHOOOPS there might be a predator!!" every freak'n time, it was quite hilarious
Load More Replies...I rode when I was younger and I fell off a lot. Never really got hurt. And then, when Christopher Reeve got paralyzed and he was an expert equestrian, I realized how lucky I had been. But have good memories of befriending several horses.
I love horses! Wanted to have a stable and show horses **when I grew up**! What changed is the fall I took, in my teens. I'm still dealing with neck and migraine issues. I'm 76 years old. A long time of pain for that fall. I still love horses, though. Can't ride anymore. 😒
Pretty sure most riders know just how dangerous a horse can be. They don't even have to try to hurt you for serious injuries
In Australia, more people are killed by horses than by any other animal (excluding humans). Following that are by cows, by dogs, and by honey bees.
I had a neighbor who got kicked by a horse and ended up with a broken pelvis.
And PLEASE wear a helmet. I just posted on another one about an Olympic dressage rider who's brain damaged because her horse fell while she was riding without one. Doesn't matter how good you are - accidents happen. The worst injuries I've had in 35+ years of riding were when horses fell with me. It happens more often than you think!
I rode a horse. Once! I promised myself never to get on anything without an off switch again.
Driving with your seat too close to the steering wheel! I see people driving where he wheel is almost touching their chest, that airbag comes out they're dead just from that.
Our organization got a brand new van to drive clients to appointments. Our safety officer took me out to show me how all the gadgets and features worked. I proceed to adjust the seat so I can reach the pedals. He freaks out: "you're too close to the steering wheel! Move back! Move back more, more, more..." Me: "now I can't reach the pedals." The look on his face was priceless, he had no idea!
Or driving with it all the way back and reclined so far you can't see over the dash, and can hardly reach the brake pedal... oh and gluing all that "BLING" on over the airbag cover... just created a bunch of shrapnel when the airbag goes off.
This is a big problem, and, then you combine this with women sitting way too upright. Engineers have worked to overcome this to an extent with the head restraints, but, only so much can be done (I work in the business, and a high ranking exec told us things like this)
I'm 144cm. (4ft. 9in.). How the hell else am I supposed to drive?
Opposite is just as true. Your wrists should touch the steering wheel when your shoulders touch the backrest. Almost noone sits close enough to have enough pressure on the brake pedal for a real emergency stop. I had a great advanced driving safety training once (incl. Drifting, ice, high speed maneuvers etc) and the trainer made us experience the difference in braking when sitting like a fast-and-furious-bro and a real race driver. Easily minus 30-40% breaking distance!
Look up some accidents from when cars had the steering wheel mounted to a steering column. A hole punched through the chest.
Giving birth. It didn’t seem that scary when I did it, I had complete faith I would be fine, but watching someone you love do it is terrifying.
Theory is that we have to give birth premature, effectively. Human babies are born quite early compared to eg chimp babies developmentally, and it's probably because if they were any bigger the mother could not give birth. Bipedalism, necessitating a narrow birth canal, doesn't help either.

Oh and an old friends older brother jumped on her trampoline and fell through it because he was too big

The trampoline is not unsafe by itself. It's the ppl that do not know how to use or wrongly install them that the danger.
You might want to look up studies on this. They are pretty dangerous in general, especially for kids.

Allergies.
Huge upvote on this. I never knew how deadly until I suddenly developed chronic hives/anaphylaxis at age 35. I now have to take a medication. 1x every 28 days or risk anaphylaxis. It's idiopathic or unknown origin. It's not alot of fun
Same! I have a super long list of "allergies" but they all occurred from the hiving condition. It's crazy it can cause anaphylaxis. I even have had to use epi. Good luck with yours.
Load More Replies...Yes. My daughter had a kid in her class in elementary school who was so severely allergic to peanuts that opening a package of peanut flips in the same room would cause an anaphylactic shock. So the whole school went "no-peanuts" just for this kid. NO ONE was allowed to bring anything with peanuts, other kids who had peanut butter bread for breakfast had to wash their hands with soap before coming to school etc. Worked well, never heard of an incidence througout the four years.
This is a good school. My sibling has allergies. When they were trying to go to preschool, a lot said they couldn't because they didn't have anyone who knew how to epipen or weren't comfortable doing it or something. Ffs, it's not that hard! (And yes I think in theory this was against the ADA, but c'mon, if you need to use the ADA you probably shouldn't go there.) It's not as bad as that poor kid (peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, sesame, sunflower, so far, but none 'opening a package of peanuts in the same room causes anaphylactic shock' level - so far none are even 'opening a package of peanuts in the same room' level) but still bad enough that parents had to take them to the ER several times.

Plastic surgery or any surgery really.
I'm well aware there is always a non zero chance of deletion when in an operation. Remember that general anasthesia is kind of the science of almost but not quite poisoning you to death and then reviving you after. Not saying people aren't good at it, but it is a dangerous thing.
Under anesthesia would be the most painless way to go though. Just hope I am over 90 and have lived a long life when it happens.
Load More Replies...To be fair, choosing between potential death through surgery or certain death by not getting one is an easy decision though (Medical necessary ones, not plastic for better looks alone)
Pretty sure people who have medical surgeries are very informed of the risks. Since the doctors have to tell them about it
The last line of any informed consent is generally "and death"
Load More Replies...Hospital acquired diseases are terrible. My daughter and my mother both had life-threatening hospital-aquired diseases.
You are confusing 'plastic surgery' and 'cosmetic surgery'.

Four Wheelers.

As a class A commercial driver, i can attest to the fact that 4-wheelers (any car, truck,, etc that a 15 year old with a lerner's permit cal legally operate on public roads) are definitely deadly. Now, if there was a better vetting process for licensing that would help, but as it stands, it's extremely difficult to NOT get a regular license in the US, and considering the current average intelligence of 'Muricans today, that fact should be terrifying.

Living in Australia.

Load More Replies...In 2022, the five most common ways to die in Australia were: Ischaemic heart diseases (heart attack), Dementia, COVID-19, Cerebrovascular diseases (stroke) and Lung cancer. This accounted for around one third of all deaths that year. During the period 2008 to 2017, there were 266 deaths due to animals. Of these 77 were by horses, donkeys, cows etc, 27 by bees, wasps, hornets, and 22 by dogs. This leaves 140 by crocodiles, sharks, snakes, lizards etc. Australia in NOT a dangerous place to live.
Australian life expectancy 2024: 80.06 years. USA life expenctancy 2024: 79.25 years.
Break those stats down by race/ethnicity, class (income), access to health care, etc., and we'll start to build a picture of the *real* threats people face. Average life expectancy of Aborigines is 8-9 years less than Australians overall; life expectancy for Native Americans is about 7-8 years less than Americans overall.

Water beads.
I presume that it's because they expand.

Tampons.
If properly used, tampons are100% safe. The trouble arises when they are not removed at the end of the period. Appropriate absorbency is key too.
"Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, examined 30 tampons from 14 different brands bought from stores in New York, Athens, and London - and two online retailers - between September 2022 and March 2023. According to the researchers, "measurable concentrations" of all 16 metals they were testing for, including toxic ones such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium, were found in at least one sample.
