Exactly right, this number is WAY higher than it should be, due to poor research and twisting of results. If you read about how this study was conducted, you will see that somewhere around 80% of the purported accidental deaths were in fact suicides. That takes 43 down to 9 right there. Now if you were to account for the other problems with that statistic I listed, you will find you have a very, very low number.

Just because you say so? ROFL-great argument. Sorry that real science doesn't bear the same fruit as the junk stats from your dad.

OH so that's ok then if they're suicides? We can eliminate those people from the statistic because hell, what do they matter?
How comes if someone gives you a number that you don't like you dissect it and claim its inaccuracy? If you're going to throw statistics into the forum and expect us to accept them as valid, you should at least have the dignity to do the same to those who don't agree with you.
