Either out of date, or just plain inaccurate, certainly for South Wales.

They seem to have completely missed the Talbot Green and Bridgend ones, showing a yellow area where they would be. There is nowhere in the area bounded by Llanelli, Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil which is as much as 45 minutes from one. I don't think theer is even anywhere which is 30 minutes away.

Surprised English Oak is as far down the list, and its certainly far harder than Ash

Lignum vitae does not get a mention, this was the traditional wood used for policemans truncheons, incredibly dense/heavy, sinks like a stone, its over double the weight of Oak, and Oak is heavy - and google tells me its Janka rating is 4800 pound foot

they're way off the mark with regards to Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and Rocky.

Excluding war, intentional homicides are about half that.

Once you add in war, it will almost certainly be more than that.

And that is only intentional killings. If you include accidental killings (most of which are caused by some form of negligence), it will be more again.

I would say that every death caused by mosquitoes is accidental, so yes, we should include accidental death caused by human error.
