Well, they don't count, really.

If people were honest, we'd likely discover that unprovoked snake bites are almost unheard-of.

Likewise, if every drowning victim were routinely checked for BAC, I think we'd discover that sober people are much more drown-resistant than the stats would indicate. Unfortunately, water + play correlates highly with beer/wine cooler/hard seltzer consumption, in the US at least.

People make a lot of bad decisions, and it has effects.
