Dying in America - the odds

The Economist put out an interesting infograph that charts the odds of dying in America. While these are general numbers, and one might contest the data, these results are rather interesting to consider.

For all the fear that we have of the "other" when it comes to personal safety, perhaps we ought to be a little more vigilant of our own selves. Of the top 6 results, 4 of them are more self related than other related - heart disease, intentional self harm, walking and choking. 

Beware of thy self...
