We take risks of accidents every day. if we were to study statistics, then we provbably wouldnt even risk getting out of bed in the morning. Just the effort of going to work would seem like an Indiana Jones style expedition, if we considered the aspect of walking, crossing the street, driving, falling down holes etc. We take as many precautions as we can to limit those risks. Some people dont, and the result can be catastrophic. As seen in the New York press recently.
