Stag and deer deaths

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I farm in West Wales. My next door neighbour, Ken, a life-long stockfarmer of 75, was semi-retired and had bought a few hinds and a stag for his own amusement.
Last week he was gored to death by his own stag.
His sons have just told me that the day before Ken was killed, a previous owner of my own farm and a friend of Ken, had also been killed, by a deer running into his car, a hundred miles away in Staffordshire.
