Fatality Analysis, 2000 to July 2006

Very interesting statistics Rick. That's a lot of effort, thanks.
The stat that is most interesting to me is that launching and landing account for a slight majority of the injury events. But, when you consider the time involved for each event proportionate to the time spent kiting, (I tend to ride for 3 hours, with one launch and one land taking maybe 3 minutes total) then it really becomes clear that launching and landing are disproportionately dangerous moments in time.

Thanks Rick.
