Wow. Here in the Bay Area the holiday killers are things like dehydration at raves and driving under the influence. Over in Japan, they've got different worries: Rice cakes kill six in Japan

For holiday disasters, its hard to beat 1000 people killed in South African Traffic Accidents as reported in the Guardian. SA's 9000 fatalities per year in a nation of 40 million souls would translate to more than 63,000 deaths in the more populous USA, but in 2001 we Yanks had "only" 41,000. Don't forget to buckle up.
