Men, asymptotic to 100% factors, women absolute 100% factors. Wondering if this is point author is trying to make?
I think this was just a fun exercise for a curious mind. I don't think it needs to have a point - it's not an essay.
Some of these categories are awfully vague. "Non-treatment procedures"??
So to summarize... Men, stop riding motorcycles Women, stop having kids That last one might have some detrimental effects long term though. So while men are taking risks, women take one for the team
The pregnancy numbers are a policy and not related to accidents. It would be similar to say that children at age 3, 5 and 12 months are much more likely to end up in the hospital than other age groups, since those are the ages when they get vaccinations. As with all statistics, there is some apple to oranges comparisons and some contexts that get lost.

What a ridiculously sexist thing to even dare say out loud. The most male-dominated category is "fall from scaffolding." Men aren't up there for fun. They built the roof that shelters you and your family when it storms.
Dear Females, are males riding bicycles wrong? Thanks PS: Female and male riders had this year nasty crashes in our club :(
Who on earth are those 1.7% men who go for "obstetric and gynaecological devices"? Are they accompanying their wives, end up fainting during the procedures, hit their heads and have to be patched up?
Edit: the full billing code is "Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents" Billing code Y76 "describes the circumstance causing an injury, not the nature of the injury."
So injuring a baby during delivery with forceps would result in this code.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Aren’t we being a little sensitive? The OP didn’t say all of the reasons for male related injuries were needless, but if you look at the list, it’s dominated by activities that are inherently voluntary and risky.
aren't you being a little naive by calling dangerous activities men have to take to survive "inherently voluntary"? go to a 3° world country or works as an immigrant somewhere rich to check your options. transportation included. it's easy to say one shouldn't use a cheap motorcycle and go for the one way sardine packed 2 hours bus ride across the city to reach work, everyday
So out of 18 reasons on the list, only a small part is "activities men have to take to survive", but many of the others aren't "inherently voluntary and risky" or cannot be blamed on the hospitalized person. The list is too short to be really interesting, when half of that list is the same thing with small variations (cycling/motorcycling), and the same for women (mostly pregnancy).
