We live in Australia where there lots of man-eating sharks and crocodiles.

But the likelihood &/or probability of being devoured by one of those is far far less than the chance of being struck by lightning.
I presume, in the US, it would be the same odds?

As a semi-regular visitor to your country (which we love) I am far more scared when I innocently wander unarmed into the wrong parts of NY or Washington than I am of swimming in the ocean or trekking in the woods.
