Answer 2

   "Why are people so bad at judging risks?"

Reason 1;

Because people react to emotion and sensationalism, they misunderstand the real elements of risk.

For example, about 20 years ago where I live, a child was kidnapped from a soccer field. The kidnapper was captured and the child returned successfully. But, forever after that parents would attend every soccer practice or any other sporting practice with their children because they perceived a high risk that there would be another kidnapping. Twenty years later, no more kidnappings even though there have been countless soccer games and practices over the years.

The reality is that the odds of a child being kidnapped from a soccer field are infinitesimally low. But, sense it arouses strong fears and emotions, people assumed the odds were high.

This article suggests that statistics say about 69 children were kidnapped by strangers in 2011. That is 69 out of 73.9 million children. That is less than 1 in a million odds - pretty low. To be completely fair, there should be an estimate of the number of sporting fields where children play every year. Then, the odds would be higher than 1 in 1 million.

On the other hand, parents have no issues whatsoever with their young children going to a swimming party over at a friend’s house. Few parents worry at all about such circumstances.

But something like 550 children under age 10 drown in swimming pools every year according to this article. There are estimated to be 11,000 residential swimming pools in the US. That is about 5% chance. Yikes!

Even just using the raw death counts. I child is more than 10 times as likely to drown in a swimming pool as to be snatched from a soccer field.
