Found these Christmas accident statistics in an old magazine from November last year! Me thinks the booze plays a part in some of them!
·35 people have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
·19 people have died in the last 10 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate!
·Uk hospitals reported 4 broken arms in 2006 after cracker pulling accidents.
·3 people die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
·58 people are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of
screwdrivers.
·101 people since 1999 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.
·18 people had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
·A massive 543 people were admitted to A&E in the years 2005-06 after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
·5 people were injured in 2006 in accidents involving out of control
Scalextric cars.
·In 2000 a total of 8 people cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet!
