Default What are the chances
I just read the local paper and a 66 yo man was killed on his bike when a tree fell on him while riding what are the chances of that?

that is true Dragone. that would probably factor into the chance percentage. a tree falling on you would really suck though.

Probably about the same odds as being struck by lightning.
