This bit is pretty relevant

If we meet an angry person from a given country X, we may suspect that most people in country X are often angry.

9 Australians were killed on horse drawn vehicles, 58 died falling out of bed, 26 died falling off chairs and 3 died either skiing or snowboarding in Australia during 2012. These statistics were provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in their report entitled "Causes of Death, Australia: Doctor Certified Deaths". Cambodians wisely sit and sleep on the floor, rarely use horse drawn vehicles and have no ski resorts. I am sorry Explorer, but it would appear to me that your countrymen take safety far less seriously than the average Khmer.

In Australia, it would be impossible for a child to get into a place like that. If this sort of thing ever did happen, they would be sued for a lot of money.

But not impossible to get eaten by Crocodiles in Australia. Plenty of Crocodile accidents happening in the Northern Territory and Queensland to people not heading safety warnings.

Saltwater Crocodile Attacks In Australia

Saltwater crocodile attacks DO happen in Australia on a regular basis. (Most attacks are on pets and livestock, but unfortunately there also regular accidents involving humans, and about two per year are fatal.)

How to Prevent Australian Saltwater Crocodile Attacks
First of all: always, always observe crocodile warning signs!
Don't assume it's safe to swim if there is no sign! Crocodiles attack out of deep, still or muddy waters, where they can't be seen. Always stay well away from those.

Small creeks, waterfalls, rock pools etc. are usually fine, but if you're not sure stay out of the water. Ask first! Either the locals or the next tourist information centre.
Stay away from the water's edge. No matter if you are camping, fishing or taking an evening stroll: stay away from the water's edge.
Never stand on logs or similar overhanging the water. Australian saltwater crocodiles can jump to attack! Also, never turn your back, always face the water.
Don't return to exactly the same place at the water every day, or on a regular basis. Or one day a croc will be waiting there for you...
etc.

Attacks and accidents are whole different class from tragedies waiting to happen. Uncovered pit overflowing with crocodiles, definitely the latter.

Lots of belief in karma in Cambodia. If one is meant to die, then one will die. If one is not meant to die, then one won’t die. Personal responsibility doesn’t factor into the equation.

Sad. Maybe increasing wealth and education will change things. Judging from the increase in traffic accidents, maybe not.

RIP to the beautiful child and the family.

Is there an increase in traffic accidents?

I thought myself things have been improving, just accidents have more visibility lately

I also have 9 images of the skull which I can either submit to a mod so they can put in the Darknet section or I'll put them there myself once I get to 20 posts!
