I mean, it can happen, but the odds are crazy, you're taking a bigger risk driving...well, anywhere or petting...well, anything. More people have been struck by lightning than have been killed by constrictors; I have no real data to back that up, but I bet someone here does.

Fwiw, I immediately lol'd when I saw this thread. Because, lol, these threads. :facepalm:
