its closer to 1 in 16,000 and varies greatly from location and state.

If you look at the socio-economic data, it's quite important too.

I think somewhere around 30 million will cruise this year and I'm assuming there will be zero deaths due to guns.

Climbing mountains is incredibly dangerous.
I don't do that.
I also don't want to be poor and live in bad parts of the US.
Life is a compromise of risk/reward with hopefully mitigating risks as best you can by making smart choices.

Life is full of risks. (Traveling, eating, medical procedures ect ect)
Feel free to sit at home and not go anywhere or do anything if you want to reduce the risk greatly.
