What is the chance of being hit by a meteorite?
Extremely small: there are only a few reliably documented injuries in all of recorded history, so the risk to any one person in a lifetime is far lower than everyday hazards such as lightning or road accidents.
Nobody can give a precise figure, and you should be wary of anyone who quotes exact odds with great confidence. What we can say is that the risk is tiny. Scientists estimate that many thousands of meteorites larger than a few grams land on Earth every year, yet in all of recorded history only a handful of injuries are well documented. Ann Hodges, bruised by a stone in Alabama in 1954, is the classic example precisely because such events are so unusual.
The reasons are geographical. About 71% of Earth's surface is ocean, and much of the land is desert, ice, forest or farmland. Even in a city, the area covered by people at any moment is minute compared with the roofs, roads and gardens around them. So a falling stone is far more likely to hit a field, a roof or a car than a person. Most meteorites that reach the ground have also been slowed by the air to a few hundred kilometres per hour, so a small one would bruise rather than kill.
It is worth separating two kinds of risk. The first is being struck directly by a small stone, which is vanishingly unlikely. The second is the rare large impact or airburst, when a bigger object explodes in the atmosphere. At Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013, about 1,500 people were hurt, mostly by glass from windows shattered by the shock wave, not by meteorites themselves. Events of that size are thought to happen roughly once or twice a century somewhere on Earth.
Truly dangerous impacts by objects hundreds of metres or more across are rarer still, and astronomers have now found most of the largest near-Earth asteroids. For anyone going about daily life, a meteorite is about the last thing worth worrying about.
