Hi all,
I have been on vacation but had planned to send this in - Some interesting
"facts"
(although some might argue with the numbers, they give a rough idea)
There are roughly 61 million people in the UK
One in 88 of these 61 million will die by this time next year.
There is a one in 300 chance of dieing in a vehicle related accident while
driving (in the lifetime) or roughly 0.5 million to one in any year over a 60
year driving "lifetime".
There is a 1 in 1000 chance of being killed in any one year if you are a
deck-hand on a deep-sea trawler or a deep-sea diver.
There is less than 1 in 1 million chance of being killed at work if you are an
office worker.
There are more mobile phones in use in the UK than there are adults...
DIY in the UK accounts for 250,000 injuries and more than 70 deaths - ladder
accidents account for 50 of those 70+
Children's toys are involved in over 40000 accidents per year (mainly by
tripping over them!)
In 2006/2007 there were 241 workplace deaths in the UK
Between 30 and 60 people are struck by lightning in the UK each year - of
these 3 may die.
Mobile phones are involved in accidents (with other contributory factors)
A man died trying to recover his mobile phone from a drain.
People have been killed using a mobile phone while driving or crossing the
road.
People have been murdered for their mobile phone.
There are zero confirmed cases of death caused by RF radiation from a mobile
phone since records (and mobile phones) began.
there is no contest - I will keep using the mobile phone but it is TOO RISKY
to go to work!
Regards
Tim
