Is there a website that shows the probability for lots of life events?

Question

I'm looking for the odds of many different types of life events, both negative and positive, like odds of giving birth to twins, odds of getting struck by lightning, odds of being born into a wealthy family... the higher the number of situations, the better!

Answer 1

here is a starting point for you--also, maybe the census bureau keeps some of the statistics you seek

Answer 2

There was a cover story in Time magazine recently (the past 3 weeks) about risk evaluation, and I think it had information about the risks of dying from different diseases, accidents, etc. I'd go to www.time.com and check it out.
