Ride For Hope (12 May 2007)

[Grub]

Guy really knew what he was talking about and learned alot, would never have guessed there were more suicides in NZ than road deaths.

I agree! Can anyone remember the exact numbers for 1973 and 2003? I'd like to see them added to the thread, I think that is a most revealing (and sobering) set of figures.

(see, I knew there'd be a test and that I'd get it wrong)

1973 386
2003 513

higher than the road toll in parparaumu since jan there has been 4 alone
in one weekend there were 3 one in kapiti one in paramata one in stokes valley,
these numbers must come down, there have been more but I don't have the stats in front of me
last week one in Ruatoria my Dad lives up there
there a 10 sudden deaths per week in NZ the word suicide can only be used if the person leaves a note.
otherwise it is under sudden death.
