Home accidents kill and injure more Americans than driving does

Evidence

Someone expires every thirteen minutes from one of more than six million car crashes that occur every year. One in two drivers have hit animals on the road, and treacherous encounters with larger critters like deer, elk, and moose are on the rise (almost one hundred thousand deer are struck annually in Pennsylvania alone). Besides riding in a car or truck, the most perilous place to be for those who enjoy living is in their own homes, where falls, poisoning, fires, suffocation and choking, and drowning result in eighteen thousand casualties and 13 million injuries in America each year. — Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg, Tom Pyszczynski, The Worm at the Core, 617
