#1 actually. it’s because america is actually quite safe generally speaking. even the #1 isn’t that big in real numbers, and that includes all gun deaths (suicides included)

oh shit yeah I see a stat for up to age 17. That's messed up. I should go see what's killing the most kids here.

i think it is just because we don’t have much mortality at these ages. when people are 15+ they start riding in cars with teenage drivers, or are teenage drivers themselves. absolute numbers tell a better story than rankings

Found it. Dutch kids die mostly in the 1st year of life, from birth defects or issues during pregnancy. After that, most kids die at ages 15-20 from suicide, then traffic accidents (those are not always involving cars). Guns aren't even a blip here.

Dutch traffic accidents will be pretty skewed compared to the rest of Europe though, because of our strong bike-centric infrastructure and most kids driving anything are driving scooters/mopeds.
