I imagine a big black sheet of board and in my hand a number of grains of sand. I throw the grains way up in the air. They land on the board. About as random a pattern as one can get. Is each grain exactly the same distance apart as each other grain? No. And life and illness and accidents and coincidences are all ruled by the same 'randomness'
There is no such thing as 100% safety and never will be. And our brains don't help because we 'see' coincidences in so many things that are actually just random occurrences.
Accidents happen but they don't happen regularly, on the hour/day/week basis.

The New York Lottery was won twice by the same man. [Happened 3 different times in all]
Bernard Bobowicz of Clifton, New Jersey, won a $3,500,000 Lotto jackpot on November 2, 1985 and another $7,000,000 Lotto jackpot on September 22, 1993.

Conspiracy Theories come from the same grey matter. As does Religion IMHO.

Chem Trails, Scientology, Faeries, Anthropogenic Global Warming, UFO's, Reincarnation, Witches, Dragons, Ectoplasm, Virgin Birth and so many more scams.

I am an Occam's Razor man and it rarely lets one down. IMHO
