In 2014, search-and-rescue rangers in our national parks responded to more than 2,600 calls, including for people who were also sick or injured. In 2015 alone, more than 5,000 people died from choking in the United States. While 90 percent of people struck by lightning survive, about 27 Americans are killed by lightning strikes every year.
