If you want to live till 100 years, one of the things you have to avoid is dying :) Here is an interesting infographic on the statistics for the most probable deaths (in U.S.).
(From an article of National Geographic Aug 2006 - Ways to Go based on NSC 2004 data).
When and how death will arrive can rarely be predicted, but statistics reveal what holds the greatest chance of ending a life. Riding a motorcylce, for example, is far riskier than playing with fireworks, statistically speaking. This chart shows what the lifetime probabilities are of a U.S. resident dying in a relatively common event, such as a pedestrian accident, or a less common but larger scale catastrophe, such as an earthquake.
