+ The cumulative rate at age 75  for males was 1119 per 100,000 population. This is a lifetime rate of more than 1 per hundred.  A male child of one year of age faces a risk 1 in a hundred of dying in a traffic crash by the time they are 75, based on the risk per year of age experienced in 2004(Table for Chart)





+ This chart adds the rates cumulatively from 1 to 75 years of age.
