Not to downplay the trend in suicides but I saw these stats cited in another article and someone pointed out that fatalities from car crashes have been declining at a pretty good clip for some time now thanks to things like airbags and improvements in emergency medical care. So there’s another angle in play here.
Amd surviving an accident just means you are not dead, not that you have any reasonable life.
Also we have not taken into account all the mentally ill out on the streets who pack it in because they cannot manage themselves.

As a matter of fact many of the mentally ill are people who have survived traumatic brain injury and are marginal at best. These souls have a very difficult life. Nothing like a walk through brain injury units to make one swear off ever wearing any sort of helmet.
