Not an all inclusive list, but Rattlesnakes (of all types)...do account for their fair share.

I couldn't help but notice (according to the circumstances listed)...that handling venomous snakes during religious services....seems to be a risky proposition (Father and Son both killed...years apart) as well as another account.
But as previously stated....there are only about 10-12 'reported' deaths in the U.S. each year....despite the thousands of snake bite cases.
Bees and Wasps claim many more lives.
