almost 17 milion people. 200 deaths a year. 65000 accidents required doctor treatment (maybe we are not zo great at cycling as we think). 15000 end up in a hospital. Especially old people tend to get killed.

Still, overall 570 traffic deaths (including cars and pedestrians etc) for 2013 is quite good.
