a child's "likelihood of death by pool (1 in 11,000) versus death by gun (1 in 1 million-plus)..." based on 6 million pools and 200 million guns in the US.
Now I am one who does not live life according to fear-mongerers and would still like to have a small lap pool, but that is an interesting comparision for the risk-adverse. Freakonomics...great book.
