Vending machines kill more people per year than sharks

 

Vending machines kill four times more people each year than sharks do.

Between 1978 and 1995, at least 37 people have died as a result of shaking vending machines to get free merchandise, averaging 2-3 deaths per year. Over the past decade there were a total of six recorded shark attack fatalities in the U.S., for an average of .6 deaths per year.
