Why can't mules have offsprings?
When a female horse and a male donkey mate, you get a mule, but two mules can’t mate to create another mule because of their chromosomal makeup.
A mule gets 32 horse chromosomes from its mother and 31 donkey chromosomes from its father. Mules are almost always sterile because those chromosomes don’t match up well enough to create egg or sperm cells.
I say “almost always” because there have been a few extremely rare instances of female mules reproducing with a male donkey or horse. But those are so rare they’re often called “miracles,” and there have been no documented instances of a male mule fathering any offspring. So, as far as we know, two mules cannot reproduce.

A decent amount of people are injured by donkeys or killed as a result of accidents related to donkeys (mostly car crashes involving a donkey) but the number of people actually killed by the donkey itself is extremely low.

Probably you are thinking of Balaam who did have this happen due to his wrong attitude. This is recorded in Numbers chapter 22.
Of course everyone knows that donkeys don't talk (although as a boy I did think Mr. Ed, the talking horse was good). Donkeys are referred to as being 'dumb' in the sense of not having the gift of speech. This is referenced in the verse below, another indication that the New Testament Christians recognized this event as historical fact, although obviously an exception and so supernatural in nature, as of course was the angel from which the donkey was trying to protect its master.
Further to this it could be pointed out that to say something is supernatural does neither mean nor imply that it is not real, nor that it didn't happen. The events of 9/11 although incredible and out of the ordinary were not supernatural whereas the event with Balaam was, but nonetheless just as real, although certainly witnessed by less people.
