i dunno who did the maths on that site, but most of it looks a bit over dramatic??
Especially the bits about gun related incidents, apparently i'm twice as likely to be a victim of a firearms incident, than to be be a victim of a motorbike accident.
i don't think so
the solar flare odds seem a little high to me too
in some cases, those with the least to say, say the most.....

I am one of the ones who does watch the sun,... and it is a good, [ not great] possibility

I want to see references!
I want to see which data comes from the National Safety Council, which uses true figures collected from honest sources and which of their crap if from bogus websites and survival blogs.
They are not even quoting the official rate for heart attack, stroke and cancer.
There is a very big difference between something happening, and something happening that will affect you adversely.
Solar flares happen daily, big whoop.
Some cancer has a 1/5 incidence rate but a 90% survival rate.
Having a heart attack does not mean one will die of a heart attack.

of course, you COULD just make up your own list.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Speaking of making up a list, the reference in the op has done just that.
Our National Safety Council website does not even list EMP as a possible hazard and absolutely not #3 three chance of causing harm or even occurring.

Not necessarily - zombies prefer "fit and healthy" brains to eat...
