A lot on here doesn’t make sense. In the cases that have the units spelled out it’s ok (1.27 per 100,000 flight hours). But 1 in 6,700 cars...huh?

Why are the car and bike statistics in three different metrics???
1 in 6700 (Cars?)
16 per 100,000 licensed drivers
21 per 100,000,000 vehicle miles (which seems very high. or low)

The variable rates throw me off too. 1 in 2.2 million or 0.0145 per 100? c’mon. If you’re not using a common numerator, at least use a common denominator.

This is a really cool infographic but a few items annoyed me
1. This is not canoeing
2. Why is this not “1 in 7000" like everything else?

People who are obese after 15 years [are] three times higher risk of mortality than those who’ve never been obese
Pretty sure we’re all gonna die, whether you’re fat or not. You’re not 3 times more likely to die if you’re fat; you just might die sooner.

How could hang gliding not be dangerous? At best it’s a controlled crash and when things go wrong it’s an uncontrolled crash.

Yeah I was most curious to see bike vs car comparison, especially since my wife is very anti-me-g etting- a- bike.

That stat on Gran Prix racing has to be wrong. There's not a death every hundred races, right? Or ever 100 racers?

Hang gliding is nuts. The only thing worse is paragliding, which is like saying “I want all the danger of hang gliding, but can you add some of that sweet BASE jumping risk in there, too?”

I mean...there have been 2 deaths in F1 and F2 in the past 5 years. Certianly less then 100 racers since.

Thats my confusion on the stat. If it’s of anyone is a given race, then what’s the time period? If someone died last race, but not the race before,I can say 1 in 2 if that’s my time period. But it would make sense to me to say that 2 people out of all the racers in each race (racers x races).
But even then, f1 ran 21 races this year. I’m guessing f2 the same. So we’re looking at over 200 races in 5 years. So you really got to define your stat in the worst way possible to generate that number, which I guess you can, and expecting to have that spelled out in an infographic is a bit much of me, I guess.
This is what 11 years of engineering schooling does to you. Show me methodology behind your numbers or piss off.

Humans are recognized as presumably whole numbers. What does it mean to me if a fraction of one whole human dies out of 100? Pretty much nothing, I’d convert into a rational number like any sane person.

Nah, it doesn’t take 11 years of engineering school. I was annoyed by the lack of explanation on most of these stats also.

I don’t exactly have an advanced degree in stats, but this bugs me somehow.
I guess if anything, it shows that we should all enjoy something today, tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.

Jackie Gleason said something along the lines of “ my doctor told me if I don’t stop smoking, drinking, and eating so much i’m going to die. I said if I cant smoke, drink, and eat, Id rather be dead"
