    Coroners’ reports of 1035 deaths possibly related to building features were examined to assess their usefulness in identifying the cause of slip, trip and fall (STF) fatalities. Of the total, falls accounted for over 80%. Of the STF deaths, 61.4% related to falls on stairs, 6.7% to falls from steps or ladders, and 5.5% to falls from windows or roofs. About 60% of total fall fatalities involved infirm persons; alcohol was involved in 60% of the falls in the un

    Funny cause the roof was fixed to the walls of the house so you would think that being on the roof would be safe eh?

    It would have been quicker and easier if you had also left in the last sentence. "Information in coroners’ reports is generally insufficient to link building features to injuries; better approaches to data collection are required."

    So 57 people (5.5% of 1035) died from falls from rooves and windows compared to 609 who died while riding motorcycles. Which is safer?
