On the one hand, all the pregnancy-related items are of course very important -- but they're not particularly illuminating on a list like this. If there was a "Testicular Torsion" item marked as 100% male, that wouldn't really tell me much here either.

Horse girls gettin' called out.
As a cyclist I both love and hate how many separate ones there are
Part of my job is fitting people with custom bracing in the trauma ward. I realized this wasn't the US because there were so many cyclists, and it was lacking an atv category.
In my state the trauma ward has an ATV season. Also, I'm surprised there wasn't a subcategory for pool injuries, or at least a category for slip and falls. Are swimming pools not very popular in the UK?
General slip-and-fall doesn't seem like it would be highly gendered. Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?
General slip-and-fall doesn't seem like it would be highly gendered.
The amount of falls I'm guessing is fairly similar, but older women are a lot more likely to end up in the trauma ward from it. For one there are just more old women than old men in my area and they are far more likely to have osteoporosis.
Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?
I generally see a lot more young men and boys from injuries from the pool. More rough housing, diving, and running around on wet concrete.
My assumption would be that males would tend more towards risky behavior around a pool.
Very few people have swimming pools at home, if that's what you mean.
Seriously. As a downhill biker I count at least 5 lines for me:
Cyclist, Object Collision Cyclist, Other Cyclist, Non Collision Accident Assault, Sharp object (my shins and calves are constantly being torn up by my fucking pedals. fuck those grip screws) Struck by sports equipment
And at the opposite end of the spectrum, how many elements for pregnancy there are as well! (And no specific Delivery, but Outcome of Delivery. Do people in US not usually give birth in a hospital?)
Edit: Not US but England
In the US the hospital is most common but there is a growing movement for alternative birth methods, birthing centers, at home births, being strapped to a wall and having crystals shot at you until your baby just sort of materializes, etc
While there are fringe anti-science people pushing for home births, the main cause is lack of health insurance/fear of unexpected bills.
That's creative. I'd love being bombarded with raw amethysts while I'm breaking waters
This chart is for people in England.
Dunno about people in the US, but this chat says the information is from England. I'm guessing delivery is included in one of the other categories (probably outcome of delivery).
This is NHS England data, so not likely to be affected by whether people in the US usually give birth in a hospital.
Birth centers are incredibly common now. And home births are preferred among certain people, like anti-vaxers and sovereign citizens
Object stuck in arse is the classic, if the anecdotes of my medical professional friends are anything to go by. Although maybe that’s already covered by “Assault, blunt object”
Females have arses too…
I'd be zero percent surprised to learn that men get stuff stuck up their arse more than women.
I live in a town which has a hospital that supports a large geographical area and as such is a major employer in the town. Many of my friends work there.
It’s always men.
I’m not sure that’s in dispute?
They don't poop, why would they have one?
You’re saying that it’s apparently a male only issue if you think it should be on the men’s side.
Would it be surprising, no, but it’s probably gonna be a pretty even split.
I would put a lot of money on it not being an even split. The stories I’ve heard from hospital colleagues always involve men, to the point where one nurse I know wanted to add a plea in a local Facebook group to ask men to stop shoving household objects up their arse.
I think women have the wherewithal to use, or have easier access to, proper tapered toys. Men see a tube shaped object and go “yep, that’ll do”.
The hospital admissions are for removal of stuck foreign objects, not which gender likes bum fun the most.

Some of this definitely comes from stigma, it's relatively normal for women to have sex toys, regardless of relationship status, but it's seen as sad and loser/gooner behavior if a man has sex toys. Add in inconvenience of penetrative sex toys really only being effective for prostate play for men (whereas women can use penetrative sex toys both to simulate vanilla PIV sex and for any amount of increasingly kinky fantasies) and you have the perfect recipe for horny men curious about ringing that male G-spot using whatever seems relatively safe and appropriately sized
My guess is it just doesn't usually get you admitted to the hospital. They can usually help you out in the ER and send you on your way.

37 times more men than women 😂
Cool. Doesn’t mean you need to be a dick about it.
You’re also an ass for trying to funnel it under “assault”, not funny. Just ignorant while trying to make a joke at men.
Love that the name-calling starts once I've provided evidence to back up my claim. This is called an ad hominem attack, or narcissistic rage, in case you ever want to bring it up with your therapist. I don't know how old you are, but it's common in children, where they're not emotionally equipped to manage the frustration of being proved wrong.
May the internet never change.
lol. You’re the one saying men are assaulting their ass.
Projection much?
I didn’t call out your joke in my first reply because I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt that you weren’t sexist or something, thanks for proving it with THAT reply.
Love it, absolute textbook 😂
I can see how you managed to get a rating this low.

Oh no, I got called out for being sexist, better insult the person and now make the internet know exactly how petty I am by this^
There’s the projection you mentioned. You did the insulting. Called me a dick, an ass and ignorant, after I posted evidence to back up what I said. Sounds pretty petty to me.
I haven’t insulted you or called you names, I’ve just brought receipts.
“Oh no, the consequences of my actions”
“Oh no, the consequences of my actions”
Yes exactly! Act like a sexist dick and you’re gonna be called out once in a while. You don’t need to insult a person directly to be a horrible person. Look in a mirror mate.
You started right off with not wanting to discuss in good faith by saying men assault their ass, if you expect people to be respectful to you with that attitude…. Well you’re the problem, not them. So why should I NOT insult you, when you decided to insult an entire gender first?
Respect begets respect, you started.
Huh.
Horse girls are a bigger part of the horse riding population than I thought
My girlfriend's sister has a horse and I refuse to go near it. It's a two ton object being operated by a pea of a brain, he once got into a panic because his friend was behind him and he couldn't see him, so he ran around the field madly until he collided with a stationary tree. Oh and he's scared of blue wheelbarrows, just blue ones, wheelbarrows of any other colour or apparently acceptable.
He has already stood on her foot once.
Horses are fucking creepy.
Right? They walk around on single fingers and are born with weird tentacles over their hooves
In the lord of the rings a lot of the extras on horses are women with fake beards because of this
Wow, motorcycles are dangerous, damn.
Yeah. That and pregnancy. Don't even get me started on riding a motorcycle while pregnant. Might as well just ride that bike down to the morgue.
Okay but what if I turned a coffin into a motorcycle? Does the bad luck even out or am I just taunting Death?
less the bicycles, unless I read the numbers incorrectly because I couldn't be bothered to spend longer
Or men riding motorcycles are really reckless, no way to conclude here
What on earth are these "Agents acting on muscles or breathing" that women seem to be much more prone to?
Looks like women are too busy with all that sex stuff to get out on their motorbikes.
This information will surely only be used to inform rational and socially progressive ideas about gender
