Suffocation? Are their lives intolerable? 


NJ - Sprained hand ... seriously?  (sounds pretty lame to me)

Well...think about it for a second...


Suffocation in 5 contiguous states. There is a back story.

And note to self, stay away from Texas, Missouri and the Carolinas.


it should be noted that these are the most "disproportionate" injuries by state.  If only 0.2% of Americans suffer a "suffocation" injury, but it's 0.5% in a given state, it's 2 and half times "disproportionate."

The suffocation states are all high-altitude states.  I wonder if that somehow plays into it....


Makes perfect sense!
