understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

When I was 7 years old I was hit by a car going at a high rate of speed over 60mph. I was thrown about 60 feet into a brick wall exactly on the corner of Fillmore ave. And Gerritsen ave. Brooklyn N. Y. The people at the light who saw me laying there. They're eyes I remember was a look of horror. One of them asked where I lived. I told them, brought me home. Ambulance came went to hospital, was released, and couldn't walk for about 2 weeks, had to crawl around. Buy didn't break one bone. Then when I was about 38 year's old, I split a telephone pole in half doing about 100 plus miles per hour. In this accident I did break my sternum, right hand and few minor things. But I shouldn't have lived in either case. Then were few more accidents was in and should have been permanently injured, but wasn't. Just so weird how I survived these things.
