⚡ Struck by lightning vs 🤕 Dying from a fall
Share card
You're 156.1× more likely to die from a fall
than to be struck by lightning
How we calculated this
Each figure is “1 in X.” The larger X is the rarer event. Dividing that number by the more common one gives the multiplier: you're 156.1× more likely to die from a fall. When the periods differ, this is a raw ratio of those figures, not a lifetime-normalized risk.
