Traffic Accident
Rate Is Low;
Drownings Are Up
.Jt’NKAl', Nov. 13. 1961 Al
aska’s death rate from accidents
A more than double that of the
nation according to tabulations
ji t completed by the Depart
ment of Healti» and Welfare vital
statistics bureau for the years
!it50 to 196(i. Alaska's late was
J2d deaths per 100,003 populat'on.
The rate for the 48 mainland Un
ited Elates was 51.5 in 1959 which
is the last year foe which figures
are available.
Despite the widespread and
varied transportation activities in
Alaska, the -death rate for non
t pans port pursuits was slightly
higher than transport. The trans
jx i accident rate was 02.3 and
included the activities of railways,
motor vehicles, water craft and
aircraft. The non-transport fatal
accident rate for the period was
ti'1.7 pei- 100,000 population and
accidents including poisoning,
falls, fire, firearms, drowning, ex
cessive cold and miscellaneous
others. In the nation's mainland
the rate of transport fatal acci
dents is 24.0, and non-transport
27.5 per 100,000 population.
In only two catagories was Al
aska's faial accident rate lower
than those of the nation. With 392
motor deaths during the 1950-60
period, Alaska’s rate was 17.4 and
that of the nation is 21.6. There
" ere 135 fatal falls in Alaska, or
a rate of 6.3 while the rate for the
rest of the nation is 10.6 Acr d
itig to Vital Statistics Bureau Di
ner tor F. E. Hester, an explan
ation for these may be that in the
< se of the vehicle deaths, Alaska
has limited highways, and the
J -ung state has a predominantly
young population to whom falls
are not o serious a threat.
Drowning took the most lives
in the 1950-60 compilation. The
toll was 6-37 of which 355 were
}>>st in connection with water
transportation. This is a rate of
28.7 font pa. ed to the nation's 3.7
rate. Fire took 268 lives to make
Alaska's rate 12.3 as compared
Msitw p,y for the nation. Mr. Kes
ter said that incomplete figures
for 1961 fire deaths for Alaska
indicate a new record will be set
this‘year with a rate possibly as
high as 25 par 100,000 population.
