The average size of a shower stall is roughly 36 inches by 36 inches, while the average size of a standard bathtub is around 60 inches in length and 30 inches in width. However, sizes can vary depending on the specific design and type of shower or bathtub.
I wasn't able to find a current number, but the number seemed sky high in 1998. 15,900 people were killed in 1998 due to falls in the shower / bathtub. Most of these were seniors.
The National Safety Council reported in 2000 that the number of deaths by drowning and submersion while in or falling into a bath-tub was 341. A complete summary of common causes of death can be found in the related link.
Water had to be boiled if you needed warm water washes. A large tin tub with a wash board and lye soap. Wet the clothes, rub the lye soap all over it and scrub each item on the wavy metal washboard. Rinse in clean water, hang on clothes line to dry. Iron with a "cast iron" iron, heated on a cast iron stove/oven. If no wash board was available, smooth, cleaned rocks were used, near rivers and streams.
Bath tubs don't necessarily contain a shower, and a shower may not have a bath tub. Shower tubs are a combination bathtub and shower; the shower head is usually mounted above the bath tub, allowing for bathing and shower drainage.

That depends on the volume/size of the tub in question. A "tub" could be a butter tub, a mash tub a bath-tub etc.
Theoreticaly it is safer to take a shower during a thunderstorm. The chances of getting killed by drowning and by using a bath tub are greater than that of getting struck by lightning and using a bath tub.
A "walk-in" tub/shower eliminates the need to step over the side of the tub to get in and out of the bath or shower. Older people and individuals with disabilities or injuries (as well as caregivers) find it much easier and far safer to use a walk-in tub/shower.
