Six Types Of Mishaps Account For 60 Per Cent Of Fatalities
A historical Ohio safety report lists six accident types causing about 60 percent of winter fatalities: falls, pedestrian injuries, fires, motor vehicle collisions, vehicle train crashes, and mechanical suffocation. Falls often occur at home due to hazards and lack of handrails, with many victims over 65. Pedestrian risk rises when crossing from behind parked cars or at signals, demanding right of way. Conflagrations stem from flammable liquids and indoor dry cleaning. vehicle collisions often follow rule violations and higher speeds. Ohio lags in preventing vehicle train crashes at grade crossings due to ignored warnings.
