Even if you don't respect your own safety and wellbeing, respect the safety and wellbeing of the other people in the car. Wear your seatbelt, wear your seatbelt, WEAR YOUR F*****G SEATBELT!

The original thread appeared on the AskReddit community quite a long time ago, and during this time, probably many new potentially dangerous things have appeared (suffice it to say that the thread is pre-Covid). However, the question "What could k**l you in your daily life that people don't even understand [is] that dangerous?" collected over 29K upvotes and around 16K different comments.
So we sincerely believe that a selection of people's opinions on this issue, given the number of comments, will really be useful and interesting for anyone. Because in this case, the number of comments clearly turns into quality.

By and large, after reading this selection of stories, even the calmest and most cold-blooded person can get goosebumps. From stairs to pool drains, from beach umbrellas to escalators - literally everything that surrounds us can become a source of an unpleasant incident with a fatal outcome. And people from all over tell many stories that only confirm this fear.

There's a surprising amount of fatalities from people falling off ladders every year.
Edit: there have to be at least 100+ stories of fatalities, people getting maimed, injuries, or at best lucky close calls in response to this post. I've read them all and some of it is downright tragic. Be careful people, and don't let your boss browbeat you into using a ladder when you shouldn't (rickety ladder, too short for the job, on a slippery surface, etc).

Don't drink enough.... dead. Drink too much.... dead. Inhale some.... dead. Standing outside when it's coming down... swept away and dead.
On the other hand, aren't these fears excessive? After all, virtually anything around us can play a fatal role in our lives - one just has to gape a bit, or find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. As for examples and statistics, you can really pick suitable examples for any life situation, providing these examples with convincing statistical data.

Speaking of, dryer lint, clean out your lint trap, clean out the exhaust point for your dryer, and check that everything is working properly.
"All the examples from this collection can actually be divided into three groups," says Irina Matveeva, a psychologist and certified NLP specialist, whom Bored Panda asked for a comment here. "The first are fears based on literally isolated cases, the second are sometimes dangerous things, and the third are widespread and well-known dangers - for example, stress or lack of sleep."
"Accordingly, a person's reaction here should be different - you need to sensibly assess the risk from unlikely dangers. For example, the fact that sometimes people get stuck to pool drains doesn’t mean that you should avoid swimming pools for the rest of your life. But it is really worth taking reasonable precautions - for example, checking the probable risks."

"As for such widely known dangers as stress or lack of sleep, it seems to me that they appeared in this selection precisely because they represent a delayed menace to our health. Accordingly, people often neglect these risks because they don’t believe that something bad can happen to them. And then, alas, it becomes too late to react..." Irina Matveeva summarizes.
What you definitely shouldn't do is give in to panic and deprive yourself of the usual or unusual joys of life simply because someone once suffered from this. In the end, it is far from certain that the described danger will definitely turn into something more real. But you shouldn't lose your vigilance either.

In any case, we do believe that this selection will become a source of useful information for you, and from now on, you will look at familiar things from a new angle, sensibly and rationally assessing the probable risks to health and life. By the way, if you also have something to say about this, we’re already waiting for your comments under this post.
