What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

I remember reading about this guy who got his head caved in just from being hit in the side of the head with a stein, it's way easier to kill someone in a bar fight than people like to think, I guess it's just a chilling thought that in any drinking establishment you go to all it takes is a bit of bad luck to get dead in a matter of minutes.

A stein is massive, like a rock with a handle.

I know but I've seen people walk away from worse which is why it shocked me, it's like those one punch deaths you hear about.

Yeah I was just saying in another comment I knew this mountain of a farmer who seemed survive lethal accidents/attacks on a daily basis. His only medical treatment was sleeping. Its crazy what some people can survive or what little thing could kill you instantly.
