How to survive life on a daily basis

 Most people in the 21st century die as a result of old age or diseases. However, another leading cause of death are accidents on a daily basis. Wearing deodorant, walking, mowing the lawn and laughing seem like innocent activities that could never be harmful but are they really safe gestures?

Step 1. Don’t kill yourself in deodorant! In 1998, 16 year old Jonathan Capewell died after inhaling 10 times the lethal dosage of propane and butane from deodorant, which led to his untimely death. Capewell would cover his entire body in deodorant at least twice a day because he was obsessed with smelling and being fresh. The fumes inhaled lead him to have a heart attack. Many deaths have been caused by deodorant such as 12 year old Daniel Hurley and 14 year old Caitlyn Allen within the last 6 years.

Step 2. Don’t jaywalk!  Many children have been killed by crossing the street at the wrong place. In 2011, a mom and her four children were crossing the street or as we can call it jaywalking when the unthinkable happened, her four year old son got hit by a car. she was convicted with: second-degree homicide by a vehicle, crossing roadway elsewhere than a crosswalk and reckless conduct.

Step 3. This is no laughing matter! In 1975, Alex Mitchell, a 50 year old english man, laughed for 25 minutes straight while watching the TV sitcom, the Goodies. He reportedly didn't get enough oxygen to his heart, it gave out and he died. Therefore laughing a little a day can help you live longer but laughing for an unconventional amount of time can lead to possible death.

Step 4. Left or right? Over 2,500 people around the world are killed each year from using products which are meant for people who are right-handed. Out of all the products, the right-handed saw causes the most fatalities. This is why it's important to use proper product that are sure to compliment if your right or left handed.

Step 5. Don’t fall out of bed! Around 450 people have died  annually because they fell out of their beds while sleeping. Falling out of bed accounts for 1.8 million emergency room visits and over 400 thousand hospital admissions each year. The very young and the very old are most at risk, and with decreased stability as we age, people over the age of 65 tend have the worst falls. In other words, sleeping on the edge of your bed or moving around at night is extremely dangerous and could lead  to disasters.

Step 6. Don’t mow your lawn! Many young children have lost their lives because they tried to help out and mow the lawn. A 10-year-old in Benson, Vermont died when the lawn mower he was using rolled down an embankment and he got trapped underneath.  Don’t leave yours kids alone with a lawn mower, it can cause serious injuries.
