Rogue waves are real, and they are very dangerous. Some non-linear physics models have suggested that ocean-going rogue waves can reach has high as 200ft by “stealing” the energy of other normal waves surrounding them. Such waves appear as a vertical wall of water, and no ship is constructed to survive them. These waves can occur anywhere at anytime, and considering this I won’t be going on any cruise ships ever...

Don’t say things like that. You don’t know what fun you are missing.

And you could be struck by lightning from a clear blue sky (google "positive giant" lightning), does this mean you stay indoors at all times?

Don't let the strategy of minimizing risk take the fun out of your life.
