PLUGGING IN AN APPLIANCE WHILE YOUR HANDS ARE WET OR DRY

THE FEAR: Moisture will transfer the current from the plug to you, and random shocks too pass of current through dry hands and feet

Each year, an estimated 500 to 1,000 deaths are caused by electrical injuries. Since most water contains impurities and conducts electricity extremely well, and electric currents tend to flow where there is the least resistance, they will usually go through that water—and into you—if the opportunity presents itself. Plus, wet skin has a lower resistance than dry skin. You could get a fatal shock to your heart.

ODDS OF DEATH: Dry or die.

LIGHTNING

THE FEAR: Being struck by lightning will kill you.

According to the National Weather Service, over the 30-year period from 1986 to 2015, only 10 percent of the people struck by lightning in the U.S. died. That's an average of 48 lightning fatalities each year. If you're stuck outside during a storm, crouch low to the ground with your heels touching and your head between your knees. You want to become as small a target as possible. Its sudden, its quick ,lightning is everywhere even In space, as if not causing wildfires is not enough.

ODDS OF DEATH: medium to moderate

GETTING HIT BY A CAR

THE FEAR: When cars battle people, the cars always win.

Well this is true , Bikemen , Cabs ,random truck explosions, Timber falling off timber trucks( Wrong turn ish)

The pursuit of automotive autonomy has been a boon for safety, and has led to features such as automatic braking and lane-departure warnings becoming common, even in less expensive cars. Along with driver safety, manufacturers are focused on making collisions with pedestrians less lethal. Which is good, considering that, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2013, 4,735 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents, and another 66,000 were injured. New safety features include rounded edges, sloping hoods, a lack of hood ornaments, and the following.
There will be at least 8 car-bike accidents in each of the states today alone .

Getting Punched in the nose



Wow this MF is so inevitable today

THE FEAR: The right angle can send bone fragments into your brain.

Although the American Academy of Family Physicians reports that approximately 40 percent of facial trauma injuries are broken noses, very few, if any, of those result in death. The nasal bone is short and relatively far from the brain. Driving it into the brain would essentially require caving in the entire front of someone's skull, and most human fists can't do that. What can kill you are complications from a broken nose, such as a septal hematoma—a collection of blood within the septum that could become infected—or damage to the cribriform plate that separates the nasal cavity from the skull and is very thin, which can result in an infection in your brain.

ODDS OF DEATH: Very high , very very high. Stay safe .

DRIVING IN HEELS

THE FEAR: Loose shoes impede your ability to use the pedals.

There are plenty of possible issues: Your shoe can get caught in the brake pedal or fall off and get stuck behind it. Your wife can catch you. Flip-flops are just as bad. If you can, avoid wearing any kind of loose shoe while driving. Or go barefoot its safe

SOLAR FLARES

THE FEAR: Bursts of electromagnetic radiation that emanate from the sun during solar flares will take down the power grid

Standard-issue solar flares are too small and too far away to have any noticeable effect on Earth. But coronal mass ejections, a separate phenomenon, can drive geomagnetic storms, which can temporarily interfere with high-frequency communications and could also affect the power grid. According to Bob Rutledge of the Space Weather Forecast Office at the National Weather Service's Space Weather Prediction Center, significant CMEs occur sporadically. The most recent big events were recorded in 1859, 1921, and 1989. Repairs to the grid would be arduous and costly but, as for physical risk, it's minimal. Specialists monitor space weather closely. Because a CME can take a day or more to reach Earth, there'll be ample time to redirect power loads, get airplanes back on the tarmac, and download enough podcasts to get you through it.

ODDS OF DEATH: You'll be fine. it'll give you a chance to read a book, but you'll be dead .

CELLPHONES

THE FEAR: The radiation from cellphones might cause cancer. May Spontaneously blow up especially here in Nigeria
We can't even charge and use earpiece to listen to songs

Like microwaves, cellphones give off nonionizing radiation—the safe kind. Although it doesn't have the protective metal mesh that keeps microwaves from escaping, your phone gives off less than 1 watt of energy compared to 2,000 to 3,000 with a microwave.

ODDS OF DEATH:we still don't trust them.

I'll go straight to how you could get killed today .
Not just in Nigeria ,EVERYONE




THE HOSPITAL

THE FEAR: Being in the hospital exposes you to more—and more virulent—bacteria.

Being in the hospital does increase your risk of catching something, says Dr. Amesh Adalja at the Infectious Diseases Society of Medicine . But microorganisms are everywhere, he says, and the increased risk of visiting noncontagious patients is negligible. "The world teems with bacteria," Adalja says. "There's really no way to avoid them." Patients, however, should be cautious. There were an estimated 722,000 healthcare-associated infections in U.S. hospitals in 2011 (the most recent data), resulting in an estimated 75,000 deaths. Surgeries gone wrong, wrong injection given, Serial killing doctors.

ODDS OF DEATH: RARE BUT CERTAIN

That is not true. It is always the arguing parties who do not always know how to properly present their respective cases logically and within the proper rules of argument.
Ah I cannot argue with you dtruthspeaker ..


But

In any context how can anyone explain logically a man floated to space (without a spacesuit) , walked on water , tured water to wine , or rising after been dead , I just dont see how they can expain these within the rules (so they keep breaking ) of argument especially with logic.

Does it mean that almost all the world's population will go to hell without being a christain?.........
if you look at it from this angle, the world's population of christains isn't up to 50% of the total population.
so does it mean they will all go to hell?
how dare you bring logic into religion.
