Not if you're under 24, and in the good ole US of A, it would seem. Even in the graph above, urban areas are more likely to result in gun violence than automotive injury.

indeed! just to clarify: by no means do i want to defend firearm practices there. Interesting graph - especially the development in recent years! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

Hm, interesting question. Dangerous in which sense?

A kitchen knife can easily kill a person. A match might burn down a house. Everything that produces CO2 or other greenhouse gases is extremely dangerous for the whole world in the long term.
