broken leg

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 was walking on Exmoor near Dunster with a friend on November 30th last year when I fell and broke my leg (I didn't know that at the time). The problem was to get transport back to Taunton to go to A & E at Musgrove Park Hospital. We were sitting on a park bench thinking what to do when two friends appeared walking the same route. Their car was nearby and they took me to Taunton. Hopefully my plaster will be removed next week and I will be mobile again.
