    In Germany in comparison the chances to die in any traffic accident (car or no car) is 1 in 351. So year. Pretty much safer.

    TIL There’s a category in the German death statistics named “Resulting from the insertion of a foreign object into a natural body opening.” And I’m only mildly disturbed. That killed 775 People in 2023 btw.

        It’s further divided into

        • T15 Foreign object in the outer eye
        • T16 … in the ear
        • T17 … in the respiratory tract
        • T18 … in the digestive tract
        • T19 … in the urogenital tract

        so it’s the whole package.
