By 90%!
Due to the strange way that statistics work, this means that a baby sleeping on its stomach without a dummy is 2.5 times more at risk of SIDS than a baby with one.
It completely elimates the statistical risk posed by the baby sleeping on its front.
Even so, researchers are advising sleeping on the back, with or without dummies.

Cory Doctorow:
This alarm clock launches a small, noisy helicopter to hover over your bed when it goes off:
One thing that sometimes wakes you up at night and prevents you from sleeping is the mosquito or blowfly when flying around your room. You can't and don't want to fall asleep again until you've caught it. These produces adrenalin and requires movements. The alarm clock blowfly works like a "blowfly" that at the desire time it escapes from a cage in your room. It starts moving and producing sound around you - to turn it off you should catch it and put it back in the cage.
Now, everyone needs one of these, right?
