If you're really worried about it, I guess from a practical stance you might want to do some research into it - not just take the word of a sensationalalised TV show. Maybe there's more to the story?
For me personally, my spiritual mindset is that if it happens to me, it was meant to happen to me and there's nothing I could (or should) have done to prevent it. Easier said than believed, I know. Besides, I have the 'advantage' of nothing big bad really happening to me in my life yet, so when something does, I'm sure it will affect my perspective. But I guess it just has a lot to do with worldview. You can accept that at any moment you may die (in possible painful, horrific ways) and live with it, or you can fear it. I feel like I'm sounding preachy. But the way that I've dealt with that question over the course of the last few years is to accept the fact that I will die, and it might happen any time. I realized that a lot of what I was afraid of was being afraid if something big bad happened. And to an extent I can control that. I can say, if that was to happen, it's my choice to freak out or not. If someone broke into my house to hurt me, I could freak out or not. Not freaking out might put you more in harm's way, but
