The lack of abnormal findings by Dr McCormick and colleagues might be related to their attrition rate of 40%,1 creating a bias toward the more responsive and less mobile families. Furthermore, their information on injuries was obtained retrospectively, with possible consequent memory selectivity. The normal findings
