If you're going to be worried about everything that has a small chance of failing and injuring you, I'm sorry to say you're currently living in a minefield. But statistically you'd be more likely to break your toe on the coffee table than your laptop exploding and burning down your house.

I broke my toe on the coffee table last year and in my old mbp battery swallowed - so it's not very comforting

My toe will heal, the stakes are low. My house burning down on the other hand can have fatal consequences for my cat if I'm not at home.

Depending on where you live, house destroying disasters like earthquakes, floods, and storms have similarly fatal consequences but are statistically more likely to occur. My point is make reasonable preparations and insure any valuable belongings, but thinking about it too much doesn't make it any less likely its going to happen to you.

Breaking your toe on the coffee table, I'd say has a pretty high statistical chance.
