And Richie Ashburn was an original met, meaning he was on the 1962 expansion franchise roster. Batted .306 and was the only met in the all star game. That year the Mets were 40-120.

Think of the days before weather forecasting. When it started raining you had no idea if it was going to blow by in an hour or destroy your home.

People were far more vulnerable in almost any way you can think of.

Interesting. Several times I dove to a bit south of the recreational dive limit, 130ft at least back in the day, but you don’t notice that transition with scuba gear.

Man, how would you like to have to pilot one of those Kingfishers? That plane catapult does not look very long… That’s 0-60 in what? 60’? That looks rougher than taking off in a fighter on a nice long 700’ runway…
I assume they landed on the water and were hoisted back onto the catapults?

My guess was isolation, but in the thread somebody mentioned male to female ratios (men seem to commit suicide at higher rates), and somebody else brought up altitude. Apparently, there are studies supporting that theory… This is worth it’s own thread.

Altitude, fewer mental health resources and/or reluctance to use those you have, M/F ratio, % Native American, gun ownership rates.
All mentioned, all probably factors.
