>>Want to know the single highest cause???? SPARKLERS! Yes, those silly, idiotic little sticks that I didn't like at age 7 because I thought they were retarded. Well, sparklers caused over 1,200 of those injuries. It was either kids getting burned, or people doing dumb things with sparklers and other stuff.

It might make sense to consider the number sold, but you also need to consider the amount of damage different fireworks do. A sparkler might give you a first or second degree burn. An M-80 might blow your hand off. A baseball analogy would be slugging percentage, where home runs count more than singles.
