Hi Greg,

1933 deserves the moniker as the "Year of the Fall". I counted 18 falls worldwide and with six falls occurring in the US. Both numbers include Williard (b), a possible witnessed fall. The US falls are Pasamonte, Cherokee Springs, Athens, Williard (b, Sioux County, and Malaga. Pasamonte, Williard (b), and Malaga all fell in New Mexico. So a few more falls have to occur in 2009 to for the record to be broken.
In second place is 1868, when thirteen falls were recorded worldwide. In 1938, four falls were recorded in the US for that number two position.

Cheers,

Frank
