I have a 1 in 4132 risk of dying this year. I read somewhere else that 80% of people in my age group who die are killed in accidents. This figure also includes people with pre existing medical conditions!

Warning - contains information on statistical chances of dying each year.

That might be helpful for younger people on here, or you, but mine is 1 in 2488. I advise people to be careful when checking that page.

That is a really low statistic though. There were half that number of people in my secondary school.

I take your point though. I will make it more clear in the original post
