In article , Jonathan Barnes says...


I also don't understand the difference in the stats
quoted, between "fatal accidents" and "accident deaths."


A coach crashes of a bridge.... 1 fatal accident... 40 accident deaths.


How about a ten-car pile-up where one person dies - would
that then be 10 fatal accidents, and one accident death?

Just seems to me that the defintions (and the formatting!!)
of those statistics presented left a *lot* to the
imagination.
