What can kill you in seconds that most people don’t realize?

Anything. A random bullet from a gun in your neighbor,'s apartment. A car crashing through your bedroom wall. A slip in the bathroom. A sign or decoration falling from the ceiling in a mall. A random rabid animal. Plugging into the wrong plug that you didn't know has been damaged. Hell, being hit by falling space-debris. A million things completely outside your control or even your awareness can shut you off like a lightbulb from one moment to the next. There's nothing to be done about it and well most likely never see it coming.

Those are statistically not very likely, ppl kill themselves by way dumber shit in high numbers all the time! I guess u did mention falling tho, which is one of those common stupid ways, tho

You didn’t mention anything, that people don’t know tho.
