These are preventable risks. We have the technology where this would be a much less likely problem (hexacopters, octocopters, better string for the parachute etc), as many people in this very thread have pointed out.

Things Tyson pointed out (Medical errors, flu, suicide, car accidents, homicides) are preventable too, but he's making an unfair comparison.

We're already doing a lot to prevent deaths from the reasons he stated (better training, vaccination, suicide hotlines and more available mental healthcare, safer cars and better driver training, [many things]), but we're not doing nearly enough to prevent deaths that are caused by pure hatred towards those that are unlike them. Deaths from those reasons aren't going up by any significant amount while deaths by hate crimes are, which is one of the big reasons why people are taking problem with this, they want to prevent deaths of many innocent people before they happen.

Can you please point me to data that backs up your claim?

I mean specifically: # of hate crime deaths per 100,000.
