#1 cause of premature death in my age group is cancer, yet I spend a huge amount of time in the sun. Sunscreen is my protection, but for the hours I spend and the number of burns I get, I'm accepting risk. For other forms of cancer, I do little in terms of protection other than those screenings my health insurance pays for.

#2 cause is heart disease. My hobby is my protection I suppose, but today when I was being the rabbit chased by guys half my age, I'm pretty darn sure my heart was about to explode and my lungs were going to come out my mouth.

#3 is unintentional injury. There is no protection against middle aged men doing stupid things.

Death by homicide is number 15, about 1/40th the likelihood of #1 , and about 1/100th the likelihood of the first 14.

No I don't carry protection. I don't worry about #1 through #14, I'm sure as heck not going to worry about #15. If I want to carry anything to prevent premature death, it should probably be a card that says "Don't eat the donuts" because of a family tendency towards diabetes, which is #5 and 6x the likleihood of homicide for the population as a whole and heck probably 10x for me.
