While injuries cannot be controlled, they can certainly be prevented. Here are 5 examples of injuries that were my own fault:
I fell off a bike because I was not paying attention to where I was going.
I fractured my wrist while snowboarding without using proper protective gear.
I strained my back lifting weights at the gym and ignored the pain for too long .
I twisted an ankle playing basketball in inappropriate footwear.
Accidents involving large trucks are a major problem in the United States, primarily because carriers are using more and more large trucks to make their delivery business profitable. The insurance industry benefits from large truck accidents because they account for 25-40% of accident claims and result in losses that total up to $400 billion each year.
