25 Things People Don't Realize Are Actually Quite Dangerous

Most of us have a pretty good idea of what is and isn't dangerous. Things like plane crashes for example. Those are definitely dangerous. Or animals with sharp teeth. How can those not be dangerous? Have you ever seen a shark? Yup, definitely dangerous (which is why they are in our 25 most dangerous animals list). The truth is that we are actually programmed to decipher dangerous situations. The reason people have phobias of heights is because throughout history such people have tended to live longer (they didn't usually fall off of cliffs for example). So heights are still a threat right? Well, yes, but the world we live in has changed significantly. For example, lets go back to the dangerous airplanes. People tend to think that airplanes are dangerous. Why? Well, in part because of our various phobias and built in mechanisms that we use to interpret danger around us (for example our fear of heights). The problem with this is that our built in phobias don't take modern engineering into account. We don't instinctively realize that driving is significantly more dangerous than flying. All our bodies know is that the plane is higher in the air, we don't have control of it, and it is moving very fast. Flying versus driving aren't the only activities in which we misjudge the danger. These are 25 things people don't realize are actually quite dangerous.
