According to statistics compiled by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis, accidents are the leading cause of death among children and youth between the ages of 8 and 20. In fact, when considered separately, various injury-related causes-traffic accidents, non-traffic related motor vehicle accidents, poisonings, drownings, falls, exposures to fire and smoke, and violence-represent five of the ten leading causes of death among those between the ages of 8 and 15 and six of the ten leading causes of death among young people between the ages of 15 and 20. In addition to the death toll, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that injuries requiring medical attention, or resulting in activity restrictions, affect more than 20 million children and adolescents annually.
