    Wonder where she got the 1000 hunting accidents a year from?

    This is the same author who seems to scorn wearing a bike helmet:

    Go back and have another look at the photo, she is wearing a blue cycle helmet, if you can’t see it there go look at Wikipedia where the image comes from

    Hi @Tertle, I will concede that yes she is wearing a helmet and thus obeying the lay in that respect. However, she is not wearing it correctly or in a manner that prevent injury if she was to come off. It is not illegal to wear a helmet incorrectly, in the same way it is not illegal to be a proper dumb arse.....Most impacts are onto the face / forehead as that bit is at the front and in the direction of travel this part is most likely to get walloped.

    I would also point out that a significant head trauma could explain her clear lack of simple cognitive thinking...... (though to be clear I would never ever wish this upon anyone. )

    Hunting accidents probably comes from ACC data, probably sprained ankles etc rather than gunshot wounds.

    I would hope so! Just had a wee look on the ACC data.govt site and I can't easily find any data for tramping or hunting related injuries. There was 9318 dancing related injuries in the 2018/2019 financial year, that's scarcely relevant though.

    IIRC the data I saw recently was about 392 ACC claims, don't know what year though. Tramping, mountain biking and surfing were about 2300-2400 each.

    And the meat she buys from the supermarket...does she think the animals all died of old age? Give me a break, lady! I used to work in the same organisation as her..she was known as coming from the Planet Christine...just saying.
