Accidental deaths are the fifth leading cause of death but the number of fatal accidents is on the rise. Many a fatal accident is preventable. The fatal accident is frequently caused by carelessness or disregard to and for others. A fatal accident can be caused by inferior products or unscrupulous companies that put profit over people.
Then there are people who drive while drunk. They know better but often alcohol or illegal drug use dulls common sense while gives the user a false sense of bravado. Frequent fatal accidents can be caused from falling – off ladders that collapse without cause, down stairs when the floor is wet in a public place, down elevator shafts that have not been maintained or inspected, at unsafe construction and mining sites.
Fatal accidents occur when smoke detectors don’t work, when flammable beds and couches catch on fire. Fatal accidents occur when drivers use the highway as a raceway and when it’s all said and done, skid marks every which way all point to the driver for causing the fatality.
The aging population contributes to accidental fatalities such as falling and taking more medications which lead to overdoses. Distracting technology also is another cause for accidental fatality especially among younger drivers who are busy talking on their mobile phones or text messaging instead of paying attention to the demands of the road.
More and more people are dying of accidental fatalities from poisoning especially from overdosing on over the counter drugs, prescription drugs that cause more problems than they cure, and from mixing herbal concoctions with prescription drugs. Choking and drowning also cause fatal accidents. No matter how many times parents are warned to keep unsupervised children away from the backyard pool, thousands of innocent children still drown every year.
Life it seems is a fatal accident waiting to happen. Every day we read about fatal accidents in the newspaper and hear it about fatal accidents on television.
