    I don’t know, they did write the song “Dumb Ways To Die” to prevent transit accidents.

      Ah yes, what a masterpiece of a campaign. Although other Canadians I’ve shown it to seem horrified.

      I don’t know what order of magnitude they’re on exactly - they do clearly happen. But, it takes relatively more effort to get run over by a train than a car whizzing by a sidewalk driven by literally whoever.
