Thank you, Paddy. That stat gives a pretty clear picture of the relative danger of an attack from a mtn lion. It shows such an attack is much less likely than being hit by lightning.

Clarification: I would presume those 1-2 attacks per year is the total of all mtn lion attacks. However, because of the context of my "blue moon" comment, where I was referring to attacks on children, does that 1-2 per year number only refer to attacks on children?
