A prominent scientist was observing life’s risks in a recent talk. He said his day started with putting the kettle on for a cup of tea, going down the stairs, and taking a paracetamol for a headache and later buying a chocolate bar from a machine. Simple enough, but he added faulty electrical appliances like kettles account for 60 house fires a week in the UK and 77 Australians died falling down the stairs in 2017, 10,000 a year were hospitalised with paracetamol and 20 die from poisoning, and two people a year are crushed to death by toppling vending machines selling things like chocolates. Living dangerously is redefined.
