Most things that are incredibly dangerous won't kill you individually. Something incredibly dangerous might kill 10%---one in ten.

Years ago, I heard of someone feeding their pets cooked, bone-in chicken. Eating cooked chicken bones is very dangerous, but you can do it for years before that one day that it suddenly isn't safe.

> Eating cooked chicken bones is very dangerous

Why is that?

Cooking the bones makes them brittle. They break open easily when chewed, and the sharp edges can perforate the GI tract after they're eaten.
