The developed country that has the highest rate of deaths from accidents is South Korea, with almost 13% of its deaths being accidental. The average per year is about 31,000 lives lost, of which about 3,000 are students. South Korea has also experienced more cases of accidents that go beyond the more common car accidents of other developed countries. These include ferry accidents, gas explosions, plane crashes and bridges or buildings. This high accident rate is thought to be the result of a lack of government safety regulations for public transit, building codes and other potentially dangerous activities. All this has led to South Korea being referred to as “the land of disasters”.
