While accidents at the Toronto Zoo have decreased from 2012, they have been on the rise since 2008.But they’ve also been getting weird.In the regular six month report to its board of directors, the Toronto Zoo noted that the number of visitor accidents in the first half of 2012 was higher than in the first half of 2013, at 47 vs. 49 in the same period a year earlier.The overall ratio of accidents,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.net]Michael Kors Outlet[/url], though,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.net]Michael Kors Handbags[/url], is astonishingly low. In the first half of 2013, there was only one accident for every 13,704 guests who entered the zoo.This graph shows the ratio of accidents to visitors. As the line goes down, there are fewer visitors to the zoo for every accident.By type, the accidents show that most types of accidents were actually on the decline between 2012 and 2013. Slips and falls were down, as were animal-related accidents. But the sharpest spike was in “general mishap.”General mishap, it turns out, is where the most random accidents that nobody could predict are categorized. In 2013,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.net]michael kors canada[/url], they include:4 children “roughhousing” and colliding with each other and objects around them.One child stuck a raisin up their nose far enough to require medical attention.A parent tripped and dropped a childA previous injury which was aggravated by walking around the zooA parent convinced their kids had hurt themselves, but no actual injury could be found.The graphs below show the kinds of injuries that visitors to the zoo sustained by year.The report is part of a regular filing the Toronto Zoo files to its board of directors every six months. Contact related injuries included:Five children injured after walking into signs, logs, rocks or glass doorsAn adult walking into a signFour people who cut their hands on sharp objectsAn adult whose son accidentally poked him in the eye with a stickThe Toronto Zoo report notes that “eight people lost their footing or tripped over their own feet,” as well.All in all, it’s good to know that the Toronto Zoo takes all of its visitors’ safety seriously and files full accident reports for every incident. But it’s also good to know that, when at the zoo,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.net]Michael Kors Handbags Outlet[/url], the biggest threat to your personal safety is likely yourself or your family.Beware.The full report can be read below.
