I pulled the CDC stats and it looks like eating and lack-of-exercise kill about 50x as many people as vehicle accidents.<p>Also generic falls are only 4K behind vehicle accidents.  Somehow poisoning beat vehicle accidents by 4K, I&#x27;m not sure how, maybe counting prescription drug interactions and allergies?<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.worldlifeexpectancy.com&#x2F;usa-cause-of-death-by-age-and-gender" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.worldlifeexpectancy.com&#x2F;usa-cause-of-death-by-age...</a><p>It would appear the most dangerous daily activity is eating and not exercising.  So your kitchen and living room couch are by far the most dangerous things in your life.  Deep in the decimal points come poisoning, falling, and driving, all roughly the same odds.  Someone else killing you is about half the odds of those three.  Drowning is about a tenth the odds of driving although most adult drowning is probably outside the house and most people don&#x27;t swim every day (although it is excellent exercise).  On average you&#x27;re about a fifth as likely to die of HIV than driving so the bedroom is probably safer than the drivers seat, on a very long term average, although HIV clusters extremely strongly into certain demographics, so bedrooms are basically safe for almost all of us and a death sentence for certain demographics.<p>In summary, there are some daily household activities that are safer than driving, such as having recreational sex, but your kitchen and living room couch are maybe a hundred times more likely to kill you than driving, and its about equal odds for falls, poisoning, and driving.  The odds are about 49 in 50 that you&#x27;re not going to die in a car accident.<p>(edited to add this is worrisome WRT death rates if people sit in self driving cars and stuff themselves with junk food while watching TV or something... the overall death rate might very well go up, even if vehicular deaths supernaturally dropped to zero)
