Sure, it's easy to "be safe" when you never go anywhere.


That comment proves how unsafe a boater your must be. The worst
accidents are close to shore, when people "feel safe."


Being at home is the most dangerous place since most accidents occur there
too.


Stastically, the bathtub is number one. Avoid bathing and you'll amass a
100% safety record at home, just like Bubbles.

The safest place in the solar system is either on the surface of the sun
or on Pluto since there's a 100% safety record there.


Sorry. Several unmanned spacecraft have been "absorbed" by the solar limb
over the past few decades. Of course NASA and the Russian Space Agency both
planned it that way. But the fact remains that vehicles have "crashed" into
the sun. Pluto may be right, however, if one discounts meteorites and such
slamming into its frozen surface.
