Here's a hat tip from a research that was recently published in the British journal Injury Prevention, where it was headed by Richard Lichenstein of the University of Maryland Hospital for Children in Baltimore. According to this research, there is a worrying trend that the number of US pedestrians who were killed or injured badly had tripled in a matter of half a dozen years – and the common denominator would be this – all the victims wore headphones. The annual figure hit 47 last year compared to just 16 in 2004, which means over the last six years or so, the total number of deaths numbered at 116.
Ubergizmo, Wearing headphones could dramatically shorten your life!
