I concur, the Prussian numbers don't make any sense to me. -- Scott eiπ 08:35, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
What about Diomedes, devoured by his own antropophagous mares? (cf Herakles)
Can it be called accidental? :-p
[edit] Statistics
I don't get this section either. What is it saying? Or trying to say? Stevage 13:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- ===Statistics===
It has long been recognized that the incidence of horse accidents is statistically predictable. Ladislaus Bortkiewicz examined data from records of 10 Prussian army corps over 20 years. He demonstrated that the 91 deaths from the kick of a horse followed a statistical pattern known as the Poisson distribution.
| Number of deaths per army corps per annum |
Death by kick of horse frequency of occurrence |
|---|---|
| 0 | 109 |
| 1 | 65 |
| 2 | 22 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 1 |
[edit] Question -- I'm interested in adding a chronological list of horse racing accidents
Question -- I'm interested in adding a chronological list of horse racing accidents (which lists the number of horses injured or killed) -- is it appropriate for this page or should it be on a separate page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rowena1999 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
