The findings challenge the commonly held myth that younger generations are the most accident-prone and show that those entering middle age are the ‘unlucky generation’ and are most likely to die by accident than any other age group. The report found that Generation Z is the most prone to drowning, Generation Y is the most dangerous on the roads, with the highest number of road deaths, Generation X is the most likely to suffer from accidental poisoning and the baby boomer generation is most at risk from choking deaths and falls. The five categories of accidental death are those specified by the World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Data on other ICD categories of accidental death, such as suicide, as well as accidental deaths among Australians aged 75 years or older were excluded from the report to ensure its relevance to insurable events/ persons.
