In every rattlesnake encounter I have ever experienced, the snake went off in one direction, and I went in the other. The only exceptions were situations where the snake was cornered, and had no options; even then, they never "attacked."
I agree. One often only remembers the "bad events" when encountering a deadly snake I am afraid. But when you look back at how many you have really run into (Deadly or non-deadly) you often hear a rustle, a glimpse of a tail fleeing into the brush and it's over. Like most animals that never, or rarely see a person they freak out and leave.
