The pie charts below represent the distribution of causes of death by age group. There's some interesting trends if you compare an individual cause through the age groups.
I don't find it surprising at all that death from "unintentional injury" is the leading cause for younger folks. That's why all those guys over on the S1000RR forum are always complaining about their insurance costs. For that matter, I'm surprised I didn't contribute to that statistic in my younger days and consider myself lucky to now likely die from "other." But it also got me thinking that I may be trying to buck that trend. After all, who wants to die in front of the TV in your pajamas from clogged arteries?
Yeah, it's all a morbid discussion but I think I'll go back and watch the movie again, "Second Hand Lions." If you haven't seen that movie, it should be at the top of your to-do list this winter.
