  • Results are ordered by case number.

  • *Walking and cycling are separated into the following activity groups in the Active Lives Survey: (1) walking for leisure and (2) walking for travel; and (1) cycling for leisure and sport and (2) cycling for travel. We are unable to correctly classify TARN incidents by these descriptions, and therefore they are not reported separately.

  • †Cells for which less than 5 cases have been suppressed for disclosure control.
