Curious Fact : With today's new approvals, there are 11 approved falls in the year 2018. That is the most approved falls in a year since I started tracking them. There are also 4 unapproved falls, bringing the putative total to 15 falls in 2018.
While there has been a noticeable upstick in recent years of reported falls, this apparent bombardment is the highest total amongst the years I have been tracking between 2000 and 2019.
