IIRC wasn't natural selection Survival of the fittest actual not in the Origin of Species but actually a racist term made up by racists to "scientifically" justify their racism

What? No you do not recall correctly. It's literally in the title of the book.

On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life

No. You're referring to social Darwinism.
Lol sorry I meant Survival of the fittest. Which is social Darwinism

259 in 7 years? Honestly not that bad. I'm sure there is some dumber activity that got more people killed in that time frame.

I saw a super stupid one yesterday. Woman hangs out a train door to get a selfie at the exact time a train passes in the other direction. She falls out the train and was grabbed back inside the carriage by some guy before she hit the tracks.

I think what you are thinking of is Nazis translating "fittest" ( as in being best suited for a specific ecological sphere) to " strongest" in German ( as in the most powerful).

http://uk.businessinsider.com/weird...-contact-with-powered-lawnmower--951-deaths-1
951 deaths over a 15 year period due to lawnmower accidents.
Accidental suffocation or strangulation in bed is over 10,000 deaths in 15 years.

I don't know much about lawnmowers or how to use them, but I've heard this in the past.... and um... I'm presuming these deaths are pretty nasty situations. :x

How do most of these occur?

The sadist in me wishes there was a concise list of each of these incidents, so Edna can read aloud each and every one.

"No Selfies!"

There was a guy up the road from me cutting grass. He slipped and ran over he foot with the lawn mower. Those things can be dangerous.
