eine nationale statistik über krankenhausaufenthalte beweist´s:
There was a total of 59 cases in the Injury Surveillance Information System (ISIS) in which a MAGPIE was coded as being a factor in causing an injury.
Briefly, these were some of the patterns observable from the analyses undertaken:
- The cases fell into two general categories: those in which an injury was actually inflicted by a magpie (ie pecking) and those in which a magpie attack caused a person to fall or lose control of a bicycle, etc. and sustain an injury as a result.
- The eye was the most frequently affected body part (n=12, 20.3%).
- The majority of cases required a significant level of medical treatment, and 20% resulted in admission to hospital.
- The categories 'pedestrian' and 'bicyclist' were the most frequently used to describe the activity being undertaken at the time of the incident (accounting for 47.5% combined).
- The incidents occurred most frequently in public areas such as roads and footpaths.
- The cases most commonly occurred in the period August to November.
und die moral von der geschicht:
wenn ein magpie auf dich einsticht,
erklärt sich die helmpflicht
