Kansas is part of an area known as Tornado Alley, where weather conditions are favorable for tornado formation. Kansas also has a high population density in its tornado-prone areas, increasing the likelihood of tornado deaths. Additionally, the state's expansive rural areas may make it difficult for residents to seek shelter quickly during tornado warnings.
Air bags have prevented approximately 50,457 deaths since their introduction in 1986.
The population of Austin, Texas is 26,851, counted from July 2008. However, this does not count all the births and deaths since that time. Austin, Texas is a popular city so of course many people live there.
Most tornadoes, about 98%, don't kill anybody. Of the 2% of tornadoes that are killers the average death toll is between 2 and 3. Tornadoes with 10 or more fatalities are not common. Occasionally, however, death tolls may be in the dozens when very strong tornadoes hit populated areas.
Since records began in 1950 there were 7128 tornadoes in Texas through 2004. However the actual number of tornadoes is probably much higher than this as most of the weaker tornadoes were missed in the early part of this time period.
Since record keeping began in 1950 until the latest finalized record in 2012, Texas experienced 8,117 recorded tornadoes. Note that in the earlier part of this period, most weaker tornadoes were missed. Because of this, there are likely several thousand tornadoes that occurred in Texas, but were never recorded.
Statistics for other countries are not available, but for the U.S. the year with the least tornado fatalities (at least since 1875) was 1910 with only 12 recorded deaths from tornadoes.

It is not known, as there do not appear to be consistent global records of tornado fatalities. The most consistent records are those for tornadoes in the United States, which count about 20,000 deaths from tornadoes since 1875. This figure is likely well below the global total, perhaps only a fraction of it.
