Death rate of young dying from fainting accidents. I could not find it. The chances of an extremely young marathon athlete fainting and dying has to be a close as to winning the lottery. I think even a person fainting has a survival reflex to prevent massive injury.

I seen people faint in the Marines from locking their knees while standing in attention for long periods of time. They collapsed straight down, like they were falling in on themselves. Never once was any of them hurt or hit there head hard.

Sigh, my brother's roommate in college dropped dead there on the tennis court.   It is a Christian college and way back then in rural Georgia, there was not much of a counter-culture lifestyle.
