These caused 42,636 people killed and 2.9 million people injured. These US figures are close to the yearly averages. The United States have a total about 308 million people. Thus, the average is about one (1) percent or one person getting injured in every 100 americans every year. A small number you say. Maybe, but remember that one in a hundred could be you.
