Just for the record, we’re not talking about the type of wind experienced after a lentil-hearty meal, which could by rights kill anyone and everyone within a 10-metre radius. Instead, we’re talking about the kind of wind that occurs naturally and is accepted as a normal part of everyday life. You can forget about windsurfing, sailing, hang-gliding and so on – all of which of course stack up their own body counts every year. But on top of these, more than 100 people in the United States are killed by the wind every year, simply having been caught up in gusty conditions and blown into kingdom come. Tragic, but not exactly enough just cause to declare wind a genuine menace to society – as cannabis supposedly is.
