Being fit and healthy would protect you pretty well from 3 of the top 4.

I wonder how they calculated the last one

Odds of zombie apocalypse: 1 in 345,957,987, 900, 042 (possibly less)

It's so obvious!!! If you can't work it out, I'm not going to tell you! And that's all I have to say on the topic! haha

To be honest, I thought it was more like a 50-50 chance for the last one. Then I recalculated it with the decimal point in the correct place, and you know what I came up with...1 in 345,957,987, 900, 041 It's still wrong, but I am an optimist, so I rounded down to make it more likely. They rounded up, silly fools. haha.

In at No.3 a solar flare (EMP) I would have thought a car bike or pedestrian accident would be more likely, how good are these statistics ????

How so?

Does not guarantee 100% protection, but it's a defence against it.

you can get Heart Disease, Cancer or have a stroke at any age, in fact 2 of my friends had cancer and they were BOTH younger than me, one fatally.
