[quote=Anonymous]I think it's familiarity. Most people have been involved in a car accident at some point in their life and understand that accidents happen. Drownings/hot car deaths are more rare, people have less personal experience and don't understand that those incidents are accidents as well. Also, humans are bad judges of risk. You have people who won't ever let their kids play at a park alone because of stranger danger, but don't even think about the risks of riding in a car (much more dangerous.)[/quote]
