*Because the specific injury mechanism subcategories examined are not inclusive of all possible mechanisms of injury, their sum will not equal the total number of contacts in the blunt or penetrating trauma category.
FFS, fall from standing; GSW, gunshot wound; MVC, motor vehicle collision; SW, stab wound.
