If you're a young,perfectly healthy person, what is your chances of dying from cardiac arrest?

This might sound stupid to some people, but I've heard you can die from cardiac arrest for no reason.

Not too good mate, you are better off jumping of a building or stepping in-front of a buss. But seriously there is a condition called cardiac concussion where a blow to the chest a just the right (wrong?) moment can concuss the heart long enough for you to die. but this is rare. Don't stress.

it can happen to anybody at any time. stuff happens, thats the way the world works. i dont know exact odds, but it actually happens alot more often than you might think.
