Dave the lower statistics chart show mortality of .85 per 100,000 Can't say if it's AD or not. While looking into this I found something interesting. There was 92 fatalities in 2001 involving tree stands nation wide, but only 23 with firearms. Of the 23 all I read were due to the shooter not seeing the person hit. There was ZERO deathes due to AD. This was from a statistical website on cause of death and injury in the USA.
Oh yeah they broke this down by age group and education as well. Almost all the "shooters" involved had never been to hunter safety classes, and most did not even have a hunting license. Only 2 were over 30, one was over 50. The rest were under 30 years old.
The demographic for high risk starts to clear up these issues quick. I wish they had a column for those who had been drinking as well, but they did not share that data.
