Every year approximately 120,000 PEOPLE DIE FROM ACCIDENTS.  Here’s some of that breakdown, according to 2006 data from the CDC:

• 2/3 of those people (about 80,000) are either poisoned or in car accidents
• 43 die from hot tap water
• 6 die from their pajamas catching on fire
• 120 die as the rider of an animal vehicle

And the most common, yet still unusual, reported way to die from an accident is falling from house furniture, with 899.
