You're far more likely to be assaulted, although your assault is less likely to be sexual in nature.

You're also more likely to be imprisoned, executed, and conscripted, and less likely to win a custody battle or get the first lifeboat from a sinking ship. But I think listing these things out is pointless in itself. We might as well list every disease we haven't acquired and every injury we haven't sustained.
