Trivia 319

I want this to be information one just usually doesn’t hear. If you have I would like to know if you haven’t all the better you’ve learned something today. With that being said here is the information for you to consider today.

Are you getting the exercise you need? Can’t lift those weights or run on the ole treadmill? Not to worry we all (sorry most of us) walk. Just some data for you to digest. You are 36 times more likely to be killed walking than driving a car. I know I know and 300 times more likely than by flying in an airplane. The last one I can believe but the first was a little hard to comprehend

Now go out and tell the world of your new found knowledge. Smile it will make people wonder what you’ve been up to. Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith. Click on the link below. Who knows you may learn something along the way and some of the words may even bring a smile to your face.

Lets see...I can see the 36 times when you look at the time spent walking. Still, look twice ,cross streets at intersections and run!

I swim laps, and I ride my bike. I'm not especially fond of walking. I can attest that it can be dangerous. When I was 7, I was hit by a car on Easter Sunday, while walking to church!

I had no idea and it is a good bit of advise to be careful when out walking. We have had a couple of pedestrians killed by cars in the last few years at nearby Purdue University.

Good morning James,

Walking with my foot is a chore!

Yes with the way people drive today even riding a bicycle may be hazardous!

Make yourself a great day.

Hi James. Those stats seem funky. You are 300 times more likely to die in a plane than a car? 40,000 people die in car accidents very year.

Good evening James. That is because stupid pedestrians step off the curb and in front of a car while they are looking at their stupid phone! People don't have the sense that God gave a goose!

James, I enjoy walking as much as I can. Not so much anymore with being busy! Got to make more time. Enjoy your day!

My doctor says I have to go physical therapy to talk about exercises I should be doing to live longer because I can't just do any old exercise that I want to do without hurting myself in some manner.

James, I am on a 'weight loss/exercise for health' team. Walking is an important component and yet now, after reading today's trivia, not sure if walking is so important ;-)

Love to walk as long as my sacroiliac agrees. ha. Seriously, walking is an excellent exercise.
