    Without normalizing for the number of these vehicles on the road this data is not meaningful. No matter how much I appreciate the depiction of cars as murder machines.

    There were zero children killed by Titan submarines in the last twenty years, we should clearly take inspiration from this beacon of safety!

      Thank you! Simply attacking a mode without weighing the number of users using that mode gives us a chart that shows the most-used mode.

      Similar to a map of heart attack deaths that shows most happen in New York, California, and Texas.

      A child runs out from behind a car directly into the path of Usain Bolt thus replicating the opening scene of The Boys.

      Edit: Actually I misremembered, the opening scene is Homelander and Maeve. I’m talking Hughie’s girlfriend having a run in with A-Train.

    Where do I find the source and the chart that sums up total fatalities?

    Wait, a pedestrian-child collision resulted in a fatality? How hard was the guy’s stride?

    Also, holy shit a child is more likely to die from a collision in a car than walking?!

    Also also, this data is from 2020, during the pandemic when a lot of people were isolating and not going out. One can only imagine that the typical numbers are much higher.

    There was a death from a child colliding with another child? Am I reading that correctly?

      You are not.

      A child died from a collision with a pedestrian, but the age of the pedestrian is unspecified.

      It’s data from the EU, school busses are less common here. Also, there are 3 deaths for children in busses in het last column.

    This data can equally be read as “there are a lot more cars than pedestrian/cyclists/moped/etc and if we increase those numbers, the deaths will likewise increase there”
