Is it bad that I laughed at how high the number of death is from falling from bed, chairs and furniture?

It's not really fair comparing snake fatalities to dogs etc.
The number of pet snakes is superseded by how many dogs are kept. If the same amount of people that kept dogs, kept rattlesnakes I'm sure there would be more deaths.
With venomous snake bite, they are wild animals rarely encountered and most bites occur when people mess around with them. Where as day to day interaction with a dog etc is far more common, thus it's a given more accidents will happen.
