A great case for why data normalization is so important.
Looking at the chart like this with non-normalized data you might conclude that riding around on a scooter makes you near invincible compared to walking even if hit by a car.
Whereas what’s really being shown is more people walk than ride scooters.
Yeah, I’m really wondering how push scooters cause more pedestrian fatalities than bicycles. Motorized scooters, I understand, but how the hell does a push scooter have enough mass and speed to kill twice as many people?

Yes, but the downside is that you only ever get to kill pedestrians /s
