Many injuries are preventable
- Each year preventable injuries result in nearly 70,000 deaths and millions of nonfatal injuries.
- Preventable injury is the fourth major cause of death and disability in Michigan, after heart disease, cancer and stroke.
- Bicycles are associated with more childhood injuries than any other consumer product except the automobile. Wearing a helmet dramatically reduces the risk of serious injury.
- Injuries from motor vehicle crashes, burns, falls, drownings and poisonings are often preventable.
- For people 44 and under, preventable injuries are the leading cause of death in the United States, and the second leading cause of premature death.
- We can prevent more than one-third of all injury-related deaths and disabilities, according to national data, by encouraging use of safety devices and by changing high-risk behaviors.
