90 Americans Are Killed Annually From Lawn Mowing

9/2/2020

6 Comments

 
Accidents happen every day, and the U.S. sees about 35,000 per year from lawn mowing alone. This leads to an average of 90 deaths per year from lawn mower accidents, and while this isn’t the biggest in general, people are more likely to die from this than they are from many common fears, such as shark attacks and spider bites. 

And unintentional falls. Slipping in the shower and tripping actually is more dangerous than lawn mowers. Who knew?

To dig up these results, LawnStarter pulled the data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, which tracks ER visits for injuries associated with consumer products. 

Average number of deaths per year caused by:
  • Sharks, alligators, and bears: 1 each
  • Snake bites: 6
  • Lawn mowers: 90
  • Deer: 200
  • Unintentional falls: 36,338
