Those numbers are meaningless because they don't tell me how many people go hunting every year. If 1,000 people went hunting per year, then yeah, 800+ accidents is a lot. But if 100,000 people go hunting every year, then it is not a lot.
Second, according to ]-[ellequin's link, swimming is approximately 18 times more fatal than hunting, and boating is approximately 8 times more fatal than hunting. So please, give me a break. In 10 years of hunting regularly, I have never once witnessed anything close to a hunting accident. I reiterate that if you guys regularly do, I suggest you find more intelligent hunting companions.
