"In July 1982, Japanese factory worker Kenji Urada became the first known fatality caused by a robot. While repairing a faulty robot, the 37-year-old failed to turn it off completely, resulting in the robot pushing him in to a grinding machine with its hydraulic arm."

But that's impossible! The first law of robotics forbids it!

"Stray golf balls injure and kill hundreds every year. In February 2005, a 67-year-old man from Texas died when his son hit a golf ball which bounced off a tree and struck him on the head. 'It was just the way God wanted him to go to heaven,' his son later said."

Not nearly enough of you, if you ask me!

"Coconuts kill around 150 people each year, 15 times more than sharks. They can build up an impact speed of 50mph as they fall and a force of as much as 1,000 kg."

Too true. Once on Koh Samui, Thailand, i sat under the shade of a coconut tree to write my journal. I moved a huge nut pod out of the way to get the best position. After a while I suddenly thought, "Wait a minute. How did that get there?" I heard a creak as the tree moved in the wind and looked up. There was a whole bunch of the monsters right above my head! I never sat under a coconut tree again. You should hear the almighty thud as they hit the ground. Of course, they're not just the little hairy nut that you shy balls at, but are contained in a huge green leathery pod.
