*Injuries categorized as “other/unclassified” resulted from varied mechanisms: for fatal injuries, these other mechanisms primarily resulted from inhalation/suffocation (8%) and unspecified (8%); for hospitalized injuries, these other mechanisms primarily resulted from unspecified mechanisms (5%), overexertion (2%), and other transport (2%); for less severe non‐hospitalized injuries, these other mechanisms primarily resulted from overexertion (11%), bite/sting (7%), and other transport (2%).
