Who is the more dangerous : dogs, cars, sharks, plane ?

Question

I already asked it on the french forum http://fr.answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20080704032535AApTLCy but they refused to give me a serious answer.

Have you got serious statistics for each danger - number of accidents or biting, number of deaths or injuried - dogs, cars, sharks, plane ?

Answer 1

It may take a minute to get the statistics, but I'm quite sure cars rule as the most dangerous.  More people die in car accidents than in plane crashes, I'm quite sure it's the same for shark attacks and dog bites which occur a lot less than car accidents.

Answer 2

Deaths by dogs 32 in 2007.

Deaths by cars around 45,000 per yer.

Deaths by sharks in the U.S. (1)  for 2007.

Deaths by plane around 250 per yer.

So I will say that the car is the most dangerous......

Answer 3

dude...it depends on the situation..like everything has a good thing and a bad thing..sometimes dogs prove more dangerous than sharks..blah blah...but according to the present ratings..cars are more dangerous as more accidents are occuring every minute...so cars are more dangerous among the oher 3...dogs arent much dangerous...but in places like India ect,a few people die due to dogs...
