Answer:

We fear flying in a plane, nuclear power plants or being struck by lightning more because our risk perception isn't rational. We assess risks using a mixture of cognitive skills (weighing the evidence, using reasoning and logic to reach conclusions) and emotional appraisals. In this case, we believe that overheating or lack of exercise is something we can control. We believe we can feel the process taking place and we can react in time. We fear all the situations that we cannot control.
