Just found this one. http://www.livescience.com/forcesofnature/050106_odds_of_dying.html

The figures are for US residents. Interesting though.

Asteroid Impact 1-in-200,000 :o

Am I missing something?

Adding up all these odds, in total they only account for ~44% of the people. This would seem to imply you have a 1 in 2 chance of never dying at all... :roll:
