Original post from WPD.Another person's work, I agree with the list and thought it was worth sharing. It's not about the gore, it's learning how not to end up like these usually unfortunate souls.
1. Stay aware of your surroundings.
2. Don’t ever get on a motorcycle.
3. Maybe avoid bicycles, too.
4. Never wear loose clothing around spinning machinery or moving parts.
5. Stay observant around heavy machinery and vehicles.
6. Electricity kills. Don’t fuck with it.
7. Don’t get mixed up with criminal stuff. Especially in Brazil.
8. Wear your seatbelt, keep your feet off the dash, and keep your body inside the car when it is moving.
9. Pay attention and stay alert while driving.
10. Learn to swim.
11. Always assume that the large truck can’t see or hear you.
12. Stay the fuck away from wild animals.
13. If you are going to fuck around and playfight with a friend, do so on grass, not concrete.
14. You won’t beat the train. Just wait.
15. Keep your kids close and keep your eyes on them at all times. Teach them how to swim and how to safely cross the road.
16. Don’t assume a vehicle will stop just because you have the right of way.
17. Never spend time around people who don’t value your life, either by driving recklessly, mishandling weapons, or instigating fights.
18. Don’t let your ego goad you into fights with strangers. You never know how far they’ll go. It’s never worth it.
19. If you live in an area with well regulated safety guidelines and building codes – be grateful.
20. Realize that sometimes you can do everything right and minimize all the risks — and a brick will still come flying through your windshield.

Despite having a small lathe in my workshop I still have eight fingers and two thumbs. The full complement. I attribute this to watching "watch people die" and learning that the bad events that I try to avoid are always waiting and watching, hoping to catch me if I get careless.
