Top 100 Most Shocking, Surprising, and Weird Things That Could Kill You
100 Ways to Die
Death is undefeated, and every second there's always the possibility that we'll be gone forever (or pass on spiritually depending on your religion).
Hopefully your death never end up on the list of the most horrible ways to die because those deaths are painful and brutal, and if we're going to go then we'd want to do so peacefully.
Speaking of horrifying deaths, there were plenty of disgusting deaths in the show 1,000 ways to die even though most of them were freak accidents and not the norm.
The list below, however, is a combination of natural, common, and freak occurrences that could bring about your demise, so don't worry because it's very diverse. The main thing to be mindful of when reading through this is to realize how preventable a lot of these are.
Death may get you, but it's your faults that may bring about an early death, which is something you would never want.
So I hope you're ready to avoid being six feet under as you scroll through the top 100 things that could kill you.

How to Deal with Danger
The list above covers many instances of death, but each number has it's own separate category. For example; the amount of diseases globally would alone create its own top 100 (or top 1000) list.
The bottom line is that death could be caused by just about anything, so it's important to not ignore warnings and caution signs when they're out there. A lot of accidents are created because people choose to ignore obvious alerts because they believe they're impenetrable.
Even worse are teens who never think anything bad will happen to them, which is why alcohol and drugs play such a huge role as well as other risk taking behaviors.
Driving under the influence is one of the most preventable things people could do to avoid taking a life, but they choose not to call a friend, have someone else drive, and call a taxi or Uber to take them home.
Sadly there are a lot of things on this list that we can't avoid such as mother nature or aging, but that's why worrying shouldn't be a top priority. We should enjoy life and take a couple risks every once in a while, but we must also be vigilant of the consequences.
Take care of yourself and pay attention, but don't let things that could kill you stop you from living today.

Thank you Chris, I am happy for the thought and subject
of your Hub,
Many may take life for granted but it is a gift from God
And if we do lose our power source of life he has the power to restore it. Soon many will return on the heavenly Father's time schedule. We can prepare to meet them
By assisting in a global clean up , and then homes have to be built to accommodate the many generations coming back. At Isaiah 65:65 - 21 They will build houses and live in them,
And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.
22 ,They will not build for someone else to inhabit,
Nor will they plant for others to eat.
For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree,
And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.
Life as long as tree is soon to come.
A bristlecone pine is the oldest tree in the world. Until 2013, the oldest individual tree in the world was Methuselah, a 4,845-year-old Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) in the White Mountains of California. Certainly wonderful times are ahead for us.

You have covered a large list, I have some info to add as well , this statistics was taken in 1999,
Danger—At Home!
Hospital statistics for 1999, published by Britain’s Department of Trade and Industry, showed that “76 people were killed each week in domestic accidents—more than died in road accidents,” reports The Guardian of London. “DIY [do-it-yourself] tools, stairs, carpets and kettles of boiling water” were among the most frequent causes of death. More than 3,000 people each year went to the emergency room after falling over laundry baskets, more than 10,000 were hospitalized for accidents that occurred while attempting to pull up socks or tights, and more than 13,000 injuries were sustained while preparing vegetables. Some 100,000 accidents were alcohol related. A spokeswoman for the
Royal Society for the Prevention
the comforting News is that lost of life is painful in many ways but like a candle that loses it flame The heavenly Father can return your life and loved back .no matter how they died many will live again.
Da 12:2And many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up, some to everlasting life and others to reproach and to everlasting contempt.
Ac 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust
King James Version
Lu 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
