Your Chances of Dying
The National Center for Health Statistics reports the average life expectancy in the United States is 77.9 years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the leading causes of death in the United States are (in descending order) heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic lower respiratory diseases, accidents, Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. (ref: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm)
There are so many ways to die early; from risky outdoor activities to smoking. At Best Health Degrees we decided to take a look at just how much you increase your chances of dying through these activities. Life after all is one big series of risks. And some risks are worth the shot. One study shows people have a 1 in 100,000 chance of dying while attending a dance party. Another study shows the odds of dying while skydiving in the United States is 1 in 101,083 jumps. What follows is a list of activities, from the ordinary to the extraordinary, and your chances of dying from them.
Sports and Recreational Activities

Regarding Yosemite trad climbing, the chances of dying when climbing actively every third weekend for two days for a year are: 35 days/year x 2.5 deaths/year / 37,500 climber-days/year or 1/429 (John Dill, article about death and injury in Yosemite 1970 through 1990).

Men who smoke are 22 times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers. Women who smoke are 12 times more likely to die from the disease. Smoking triples the risk of dying from heart disease among middle-aged men and women. People who smoke increase their risk of death from emphysema and bronchitis by almost 10 times.
(Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
Lifelong smokers on average have a 50 percent chance of dying from tobacco-related illnesses, with half of them dying before the age of 70. Studies show cigar smokers have 4-10 times the risk of nonsmokers of dying from laryngeal, oral, or esophageal cancers.

People who had a medium number of years lived with obesity (between five years and 14.9 years), the risk of mortality more than doubled than for people who had never been obese. The risk of mortality almost tripled for those with the longest duration of obesity (more than 15 years) (Source: Monash University researchers )

Dance parties: 1 in 100,000 chance of dying
Table games: 1 in 100 million chance of dying
Computer games: 1 in 100 million chance of dying Russell Newcombe & Sally Woods Centre for Applied Psychology, School of Human Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, Henry Cotton Campus, Webster St., Liverpool, L3 2ET, England ).
Whatever the odds of a person dying during the next year it will be twice as large 8 years from now according to British actuary Benjamin Gompertz in 1825; it's called the "Gompertz Law of human mortality." Your probability of dying during a given year doubles every 8 years.

Move to Iceland, the world's most peaceful country.
(CNN)In search of peace? Maybe it's time to move to Iceland.
According to the nonprofit Institute for Economics and Peace, the thinly populated island in the midst of the North Atlantic has retained its place as the most peaceful country in the world.
The institute released its this week, which ranks based on factors like the level of violent crime, involvement in conflicts and the degree of militarization.
Six out of the top 10 most peaceful countries were European, with Denmark and Austria holding the second and third spots.
"Europe maintained its position as the most peaceful region in the world, supported by a lack of domestic and external conflicts," the report said.
But that glowing review is helped by the fact that violence-plagued Ukraine is lumped into a different region: Russia and Eurasia.
U.S. in bottom half of rankings
Ukraine suffered the second biggest deterioration in its rating over the past year as pro-Russian separatists clashed with government forces.
The only country that fared worse was Libya, which has "sunk into a low-level civil war between Islamist and nationalist groups," the report said.
War-ravaged Syria remained at the bottom of the rankings. And Iraq, the other country where the Islamic militant group ISIS holds large areas of territory, dropped below South Sudan and Afghanistan to second last place.
The United States is in the bottom half of the index, scoring badly in terms of militarization, homicides and fear of violence. Its ranking improved somewhat from a year earlier, though, rising from 101st place to 94th.

This thread is another reason I love this forum, people are allowed to interact without a mod interupting, and that has control issues, and I love how some go off, excuse the pun.Thank you for that jek off pic, it got me horny, love watching a man jack his hammer:heart:. Back to the subject, dying and base jumping, we're all going to die at some point, might as well do whatever turns you on and take your chances, I'd rather empty my bucket list and go early than live longer regretting.

We are all 100% sure of dying sometime (except, perhaps Papa). So why not have fun in the process?
When I was younger, I was kayaking off waterfalls, jumping out of planes, and doing everything I could to get adrenaline rushes. I'd do the same today except the wear and tear on my body makes some things too difficult to do with any degree of comfort. BASE jumping was just taking off when I was in my 20s, and I was jumping out of planes then and would have jumped off buildings too if I thought there was no risk of arrest!
