Re: request for help for a hiking survey

Hey all, I've crunched the statistics and thought I'd post them here for people.
Please note
  • I forgot that people prefer the term "bush walking", and it's too late to correct it.
  • I've omitted some data in the file for confidentiality.
  • It's not very neat.
  • The graphing begins at the bottom of the data set, if you have a small screen you might see some more graphs when scrolling right.
  • Google Docs viewer is a little sub-par, I suggest downloading the file (little arrow button near the top-left) and viewing it with a spreadsheet viewer.
  • If you can't view it properly, post here and I'll transfer the contents neatly onto a word document or PDF.

Thank you for your help and critique, I've recently started bush walking and already hurt myself.
I've also included a file containing information and analysis of 21 recent bush walking deaths.

Good work!
I hate to be picky, but the title 'water brang' should be 'water brought'

I really needed to use the View > Zoom In function
Hard to read

I hope you had fun compiling the results, and enjoy your own bushwalking :)

Good effort!

A little more pickiness - it's Break (not Brake) and Poisoning (not Poisining)

Interesting list of causes - vine swinging? Ok 'fess up who was channelling their inner Tarzan :P
This makes me the first man to climb Mount Everest backwards, without oxygen...or even a jumper.
