You drive like an @$$hole
At least, that's what I'd tell you if you backed your car over a child.
And apparently, it happens more often than you'd think:
Every week in the United States at least 50 children are backed over in driveways or parking lots.
What??? That means that 7 times a day, someone backs up over a child.
That's incredible. I'm dumbfounded. Speechless, even.
Are there any actuaries out there who can verify this statistic? Is it just a mere case of FUD being used to get gullible parents to attend a seminar?

Put another way, if you assume 10% of the population is <15 years old (30M), it would be ~11,500 to 1. Or roughly, the same chance you have of winning an academy award. http://funny2.com/odds.htm.
