There are less scorpions that are capable of killing a Human than there are snakes who can deliver fatal poison..
Most scorpions have weaker venom than snakes - they use their pincers to capture prey and sting it to death as well as tear it apart. Snakes have no other limbs to rely on, so their venom is the only weapon they have.
Snake venom is also dangerous because there are many different kinds of venom; some affect the nerves, some destroy the body's tissue.
