That graph doesn’t actually indicate what the title says. If the number of fatal accidents rises proportionally with the number of children walking on the street then the level of danger remains the same.
It’s actually possible it’s the safest if, say, the number of pedestrian children goes up five times but the rate of accidents only triples.

That graph looks a bit noisy to me… Seems like every other day is pretty close to the most dangerous day of the year for child pedestrians…

It’s a little confusing at first, but that black line isn’t an indicator of which day is halloween - it’s the actual statistic. Looks like Halloween is almost twice as dangerous as the second most dangerous calendar day

Oh, I see. I thought OP drew that over the top of the graph in paint or something…

cars are the number one killer of children, kids just usually don’t go out at night or it would be worse on the other 364 days #BanCars #CarsRuinEverything
