Drowning

Sadly, people may forget how unfit they become between holidays, or fail to identify rips or unsuspecting tides on alien shores. 213 Americans drowned overseas in the reporting period, predominantly in countries famed for beach resorts like Mexico, Costa Rica, the Bahamas and Australia.

    • Vehicle Accidents

      Worse than terrorism, sharks or spiders, motor vehicle accidents kill more Americans abroad than anything else. 432 Americans died in car accidents in the reporting period; a further 72 deaths involved motorcycles, 18 involved buses and 20 involved another kind of vehicle. An additional 27 Americans died as pedestrians. Australia is over-represented here - perhaps because it is a car dependent society that drives on the left.
