Which is the number one cause of outdoor fatalities?

drowning
heat stroke
hypothermia
animal attacks

The correct answer is: hypothermia

Hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature, is the number one cause of outdoor fatalities because it can occur even in moderately cool temperatures and is often underestimated. While drowning, heat stroke, and animal attacks are also potential causes of outdoor fatalities, they are more preventable and may occur less frequently. In contrast, hypothermia can occur even when there is no precipitation or extreme temperatures, making it a greater risk for individuals engaging in outdoor activities.
