The Halloween fact is not very shocking, the most shocking fact I learned from the other thread is that 10 children die on average per day in car pedestrian accidents in the US?!

In Germany we had 74 transport related child deaths for the whole last year, 31 of them where in cars. Yes, the US has a larger population than Germany. But, like, four times larger...

ETA: Though I'm not sure where the number 10 is coming from. I can't find it in the linked study and the graph suggests a lower number per yearday.
