Lastly, what do you suppose the percentages of young people (let's say
under 20) that die in gun related homicides or suicides vs all those
other maladies? I'm sure a lot die in car accidents but all those
stats above? Not so many.

--------------------------------------------------

Interestingly, I recently looked up the statistics on automobile
accidents.

By far, the most occur with drivers between the ages of 45 and 55.
It's something like 20 percent.

Old farts (like me) account for less than 6 percent.

The question is who is in serious or fatal accidents. If you believe
the insurance companies, it is 25 and under.

Scroll down to Table 1114. Looks like the age groups of 25 to 34
and 45 to 54 have the highest number of fatal accidents.
