Fatality Statistics
2007-08-22 17:26:00 Following a slew of new child restraint laws in the past couple of months, we have observed a fair amount of skepticism regarding the necessity of booster seats. The NHTSA website has a number of informative studies, though you have to wade through quite a lot of statistics to find what you are looking for.To keep things simple, we are posting just one graphic here today. From a 2005 report analyzing motor vehicle fatalities from 1998 to 2002, we have extracted the statistics on injuries among 8 to 15 year olds. This particular report does not distinguish between different types of restraints, and we will cover these in a future post. The chart below shows the relative risk of death for a number of different vehicles:Conclusions: children tend to be safest in trucks as long as they are restrained. Unrestrained, passenger cars are the most likely to result in fatalities. Across all four categories of vehicles, children aged 8-15 are 50% less likely to die in an accident if re...

Family Sues Station After Wii Contest Fatality
2007-02-09 11:27:02 Well I figured it would happen at some point. The family of Jennifer Strange, the mother of three who died in a "Hold Your Wii for a Wii" contest at Sacramento's KDND-FM, announced they are suing the station responsible. The Entercom-owned station hasn't responded yet because their phone lines have been completely busy since the announcement."The station knew this was a dangerous and potentially deadly stunt, but flippantly dismissed the dangers," their lawyer, Roger Dreyer said in a statement. "Hearing the tape (of the radio show), it's very clear they knew of the dangers and could foresee that this could lead to Jennifer's death."After Jennifer Strange was found dead in her home, where she was suspected to have consumed up to two gallons of water without urinating, the station responded by firing 10 people connected to the contest and canceling the "Morning Rave" show the contest was featured on. The hosts of the Morning Rave show were joking about the possibility of water int...
