Part of my job is fitting people with custom bracing in the trauma ward. I realized this wasn’t the US because there were so many cyclists, and it was lacking an atv category.
In my state the trauma ward has an ATV season. Also, I’m surprised there wasn’t a subcategory for pool injuries, or at least a category for slip and falls. Are swimming pools not very popular in the UK?
General slip-and-fall doesn’t seem like it would be highly gendered.
The amount of falls I’m guessing is fairly similar, but older women are a lot more likely to end up in the trauma ward from it. For one there are just more old women than old men in my area and they are far more likely to have osteoporosis.
Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?
I generally see a lot more young men and boys from injuries from the pool. More rough housing, diving, and running around on wet concrete.
And at the opposite end of the spectrum, how many elements for pregnancy there are as well! (And no specific Delivery, but Outcome of Delivery. Do people in US not usually give birth in a hospital?)
In the US the hospital is most common but there is a growing movement for alternative birth methods, birthing centers, at home births, being strapped to a wall and having crystals shot at you until your baby just sort of materializes, etc
I know a number of home-birthed people, including myself, and I could not describe a single parent of theirs as being anti-science. Also this graph is from English hospital admissions so cost/bills would never ever enter the equation.
Dunno about people in the US, but this chat says the information is from England. I’m guessing delivery is included in one of the other categories (probably outcome of delivery).
Seriously. As a downhill biker I count at least 5 lines for me:
Cyclist, Object Collision
Cyclist, Other
Cyclist, Non Collision Accident
Assault, Sharp object (my shins and calves are constantly being torn up by my fucking pedals. fuck those grip screws)
Struck by sports equipment
As a cyclist I both love and hate how many separate ones there are

My assumption would be that males would tend more towards risky behavior around a pool.
Very few people have swimming pools at home, if that’s what you mean.
We just go to the local puddle during the rainy season, typically between January and December.
to slip and fall?
And how many admissions compared to motorcycles there are.

Edit: Not US but England
In the US the hospital is most common but there is a growing movement for alternative birth methods, birthing centers, at home births, being strapped to a wall and having crystals shot at you until your baby just sort of materializes, etc
While there are fringe anti-science people pushing for home births, the main cause is lack of health insurance/fear of unexpected bills.

That’s creative. I’d love being bombarded with raw amethysts while I’m breaking waters
Amethysts and essential oils. Men know there is only one essential oil… WD40.
This chart is for people in England.
Explains the lack of gunshots compared to stabbings.
Thanks for pointing it out! Lemmy is so US centered I didn’t notice
lol, someone downvoted your candid opinion.
🤷♂️
this chart is for anyone interested in charts, don’t gatekeep charts!
This is NHS England data, so not likely to be affected by whether people in the US usually give birth in a hospital.

Birth centers are incredibly common now. And home births are preferred among certain people, like anti-vaxers and sovereign citizens
It’s mostly people with inadequate medical coverage who can’t afford insane surprise bills.

Clipless will save your shins :)
