My goal in life is to be that one pedestrian who takes out a car.
Mad props for the cyclist too
Yeah how did that even happen? Like was it a really buff guy or a really flimsy car?
That was Chuck Norris
Car crashed into a building, killed a pedestrian on the way. Any number of scenarios. Doesn’t mean the pedestrian survived.
When a pedestrian collides into another pedestrian and kills them, that’s called “a fist fight.”
Not really. Imagine 2 people walking at a brisk pace walking into each other, eg around a corner. Might kill someone. Usually that’s fine, but sometimes you have bad lick.
A great case for why data normalization is so important.
Looking at the chart like this with non-normalized data you might conclude that riding around on a scooter makes you near invincible compared to walking even if hit by a car.
Whereas what’s really being shown is more people walk than ride scooters.
Yes, but the downside is that you only ever get to kill pedestrians /s
i want more information on the other v other incidents. is this like, clown unicycle vs pogo stick?
Looks like I need to buy a scooter, a van, or an other
Van/lorry kills more cars than they kill other vans/lorries. Top dog in the race to the bottom.
Very curious about the three “question mark vs question mark” fatalities. UFO collision? Skateboard jousting?
Headline tomorrow: “Other Hits Other. Three Dead.”
This is the sort of chart that should be put in front of children. It’s interesting to read and well designed. And it’s funny to imagine two people bumping into each other being fit for such a chart.
And it has just enough complexity to be at least a bit fascinating to most kids, and especially spectrum kids.
So, a pedestrian collided with a car and the car was the fatality?
I’m sure the pedestrian also didn’t survive that scenario.
But yeah this data is a bit confusing.
Maybe the airbag was unsupportive in this case.
Need fewer 4+ wheeled death cages, more walking / biking infrastructure, more and better public transit, and more significant barriers between them.
Real curious about the three “other” colliding with one another
Skateboard vs pram
Aight, I’m gonna need this in relative/conditional frequencies rather than absolute ones.
That question mark? Wargs.
In this chart: kinetic energy is relative to mass.
Remember that one time the dumb lady walked out in front of Tour de France? About the only example I can think of which was particularly morbid.
