The red and blue areas have equal populations (the dark blue country is Bangladesh - click image to embiggen).
The map projection makes that look a bit more impressive than it really is.
Yeah, visually there's just so much red but when you realize which countries they are it's not as surprising. Still, I was surprised a few years ago to find out that Bangladesh has more people than Japan or Russia.
"Most disproportionately common," not "most common." So I'm sure it's legit.
I'm trying to think of what in the Rockies/Great Basin could lead to more suffocation and I'm thinking maybe camping/sleeping bags. Or altitude? Injury, not death, so "suffocation" could mean any sort of low-oxygen problem, right? Including drowning and choking.
When Googling "suffocation" as a cause of injury (or death) the most results were regarding SIDS; I was initially befuddled but also thinking only in terms of 'adult' insurance claims. I guess if they're referring to "disproportionate" amounts overall, then SIDS could be one possible reason. That is a real insurance company but I couldn't find their data or methods for that study.

Huffing and/or auto-erotic asphyxiation. Those goddamned freaks out West.

Skiers falling into tree wells? Or perhaps something having to do with the LDS population that I really don't want to know about.
Scrape for HI makes sense given the number of surfers.
Spine dislocation seems weird unless it has something to do with workmans compensation claims.
ND and NB probably should be relabeled "Exertion" because "Overexertion" implies they actually were working hard.

was wondering the same thing.
